Thank you for pointing me to that. And you're right I remember something 
like that, too. But I think I could solve it by deleting the indexes to 
push kmail to create new ones. And that's the same what I read here:

Eventually it occurred 100% of the time when switching mailbox.
However, I just discovered that the command:
mv /home/john/.kde/share/apps/kmail/mail/.*index* ~/mail.bak/
appears to have fixed the problem.

I'll try that first, because I have tons of rules, filters and 
configuration stuff.
