I used akonadiconsole to remove everything I was allowed to do and I do not need. Then I add "Kolab resource" (without further configuration) and "KDE Address Book (traditional)"
There I could config a "kmail imap resource" (aka kolab imap folder)
This works and I see my Kolab contacts in the shiny new kontact 4.4 address book. 
The whole setup akonadi + nepomuk looks very fragile. While it works fine for the main user it does not work for a switch user from a running session.
And I have not found a step-by-step guide with reference config files for this stuff.

Oh, the new app looks promising but needs some love. The separate address book list is a waste of space and the fonts are to small on a big screen.
