Meanwhile detected by myself:
ad 1: Kmail accounts offline:=20
workaround for me: disabled network connection AND reconnect network -> kma=
il=20
accounts went ONLINE. So probably there is a (malfunction ?) problem with n=
etwork=20
coming up after awake from sleep mode !?
Anothekillall -9 kded6 && kded6 & disown

ad 2: problem solved by myself too; worried about adding postbox for /var/m=
ail; have=20
selected the wrong option

r solution found by:=20
