I am happy to share everything I know, I was hoping that somebody has seen
something like this before. I was hoping for a specific log request...

I press the send button and that's it. There is no log entry on the SMTP
server.

I still see the message arriving in akonadi console:

But I see no attempt from akonadi to hand over the message to the configured
SMTP server.

Nothing more that I listed.

While the KMail Folders/outbox it still visible in akonadi console, it is not
visible anymore in KMail. This happened quite some time back, and is probably
not the root cause of the issue, it just makes it hard to spot that an email
gets not send, since there is no feedback at all to the user that the emails
are not sent. If the outbox still would be there, the user can see that there
are unsent emails in the outbox.

I certainly can copy upstream, but since it is a stable installation I was
expect that upstream does not care anymore, whereas here there might be quite
a few users of Debian stable.
Thanks
