Description Maciej Pilichowski 2008-01-16 08:36:15 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE 3.5.8)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs

First of all, it is a major issue, but not the problem of KMail but Reiserfs. Anyway, it affects users and affects badly. Here is the original report:

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=353885

Anyway, the problem is with any program that creates a lot of small files -- I use only two ccache and KMail with maildir type of mail folder. In theory it should not happen, but in practice it does and more time passes (more mail I have) I have more and more problems with saving anything on disk.

This could also be true for ext2 and other similar (to ext2) filesystem.

Thank you for your feature request. Kmail1 is currently unmaintained so we are closing all wishes. Please feel free to reopen a feature request for Kmail2 if it has not already been implemented.
Thank you for your understanding.

Instead of creating a new feature request, please confirm here if the wishlist is still valid for kmail2.
