Do I really need to export all the mails in the local maildirs?
No, you don't *need* to do that. Akonadi5 should migrate the current config on first start. And even if the migration would fail for some reason, you should still be able to reconfigure it and point it to the existing maildirs. (the mails are not *stored* inside akonadi, but in the same standard locations as ever) Although, if your mails are really important to you, it's always good to have a backup... ;-) IMHO, it shouldn't even be necessary to stop Akonadi before the update as has been recommended. But the KDEPIM5 applications won't work with a running Akonadi4 server. And Akonadi4 itself will probably stop working as well if its files are being replaced underneath by the update, and it maybe won't even be possible to stop/shutdown it properly afterwards, which in itself might cause some (database) corruption or an inconsistent state. So better be safe than sorry, I'd say. And I think that's the main purpose of that "heads up" announcement.
