So I'd like to suggest to change the way Tumbleweed provides KDE updates: Let's only have an update to a matured version, like KDE Applications 16.08.3 was and hopefully 16.12.3 or later will be. Same for KDE Plasma and KDE Frameworks.
Sorry for my blunt words. If you, the community of openSuse, judge differently, no problem. I simply can go and install e.g. Leap. But I hope to be able to communicate my argument clearly, without offending someone: You can't call a distro a rolling release, while bugs render the email system close to unusable, for many users and many weeks.

Alexander
Since I had no major issue with KDE Applications (including kmail/akonadi) in the last years, excepting the rather annoying time when kmail wouldn't parse ical attachments correctly, I'd suggest a repository containing the applications in a version deemed stable... For me the reason I chose to use Tumbleweed was to get the latest Plasma/KF/Applications without the hassle of constantly checking how the OBS repositories containing that are named this month. I don't want to say “works for me and I don't care about others", I just think a rolling distribution should not stop rolling some packages due to a perceived “bug overflow”. Downgrading a package contains the risk of breaking user data due to configurations or data being changed/adapted by new releases. I don't know, whether this would be the case here.
