Thx for the report, but normally I've already all the mail synchronized for offline usage. anyway I will start to move some of the account to kmail/akonadi and see what will happen

yes, that's the idea i guess, but it leaves you vulnerable to any hiccups your mail client may suffer. you got all your mail in kmail, so if that messes up somehow (which does happen), you got to download it from google again (hopefully not having deleted it from there). with my arrangements, kmail (or whatever client) only maintain their own cache of the mail, but the actual mail is safe & easy to back up.

Except if fetchmail start to bug :-)

There are newer replacements for fetchmail, for example: http://pyropus.ca/software/getmail/ (obs:/server:mail) a full replacement, written in python, and of course the many imap sync tools (offlineimap, imap-sync, etc) Maybe there should be a push to include getmail into Factory, to give it more publicity, fetchmail gets on "aged" these days. Same (-"aged"-) is true for procmail, but there it's less clear on the replacements in waiting.
