I have been plagued by problems with KMail. Sometimes Akonadi server fails to start:

At other points the program simply hangs and becomes unresponsive when sending an email. Then at a few other points it simply crashes out, out which point I submit a bug report.
I really like KMail when it works. What can I do to improve things? Is there a more up to date Repository? Should I try KDE 4.5? When do the patches in bug reports make their way ‘back down’?
