323740 2013-08-19 17:25:18 +0000 [Regression] Kontact/KMail starts eating one CPU when selecting a mail 2013-08-20 17:13:50 +0000 1 1 2 Applications kmail2 general 4.11 openSUSE Linux RESOLVED DUPLICATE 322958 NOR normal --- 1 kde pim-bugs-null dvratil gladhorn smorg 0 oldest_to_newest 1391011 0 kde 2013-08-19 17:25:18 +0000 I just upgraded my machine from SC 4.10.5 to 4.11. I'm using KMail-part in Kontact with an (online) IMAP account. After startup, once the first mail is selected, Kontact starts blocking one CPU (~20% on my Quadcore machine), akonadiserver usually uses the rest so both sum up to ~25% load. When in this state I can select some other mail but only get a message "please wait while fetching contents of this folder". I also can't send any mail during this. Kontact isn't entirely locked up, e.g. I can navigate through the menu and the like. So I guess it is in some sort of loop talking to akonadi and getting flooded with replies so the event loop is always busy. Since I can easily reproduce this I can get you any sort of log/strace, but please tell me what to look for. Reproducible: Always 1391067 1 smorg 2013-08-19 21:23:01 +0000 Same problem here, using gentoo x86_64, kde 4.11, qt 4.8.5, gcc-4.7.3 and maildir ressources (fetching mails via pop3). I can read about one or two mails with enough patience (5-15 Minutes of waiting), after that kmail needs forever (>1h) to display the next message. If I can help by providing more information, please let me know. 1391073 2 kde 2013-08-19 21:51:27 +0000 One more thing that I observed: if I quit kontact it will not go away, but hang around. It then uses less CPU time, but akonadi then uses more (numbers are something like 4% kontact 21% akonadi), so I think there is still the same communication going on in the background. When I then send send a term signal to kontact it really quits and akonadi immediately calms down. 1391152 3 faure 2013-08-20 08:34:59 +0000 Enable the job tracker in akonadiconsole, then start kmail, and watch which job takes a very long time to run. 1391164 4 gladhorn 2013-08-20 09:56:54 +0000 I have the same symptoms - on a laptop everythig works fine, but on a machine using exchange-imap nothing seems to work. (well, it takes ages to open a mail). On the shell I get this debug output (continously, all the time the same messages): kmail2(23566)/libakonadi Akonadi::SpecialCollectionsPrivate::emitChanged: Emitting changed for "akonadi_maildir_resource_1" kmail2(23566)/libakonadi Akonadi::SpecialCollectionsPrivate::emitChanged: Emitting defaultFoldersChanged. kmail2(23566) MailCommon::Kernel::initFolders: Initialized and looking for specialcollection folders. kmail2(23566)/libakonadi Akonadi::SpecialCollectionsPrivate::emitChanged: Emitting changed for "akonadi_maildir_resource_1" kmail2(23566)/libakonadi Akonadi::SpecialCollectionsPrivate::emitChanged: Emitting defaultFoldersChanged. kmail2(23566) MailCommon::Kernel::initFolders: Initialized and looking for specialcollection folders. kmail2(23566)/libakonadi Akonadi::SpecialCollectionsPrivate::emitChanged: Emitting changed for "akonadi_maildir_resource_1" kmail2(23566)/libakonadi Akonadi::SpecialCollectionsPrivate::emitChanged: Emitting defaultFoldersChanged. kmail2(23566) MailCommon::Kernel::initFolders: Initialized and looking for specialcollection folders. kmail2(23566)/libakonadi Akonadi::SpecialCollectionsPrivate::emitChanged: Emitting changed for "akonadi_maildir_resource_1" kmail2(23566)/libakonadi Akonadi::SpecialCollectionsPrivate::emitChanged: Emitting defaultFoldersChanged. kmail2(23566) MailCommon::Kernel::initFolders: Initialized and looking for specialcollection folders. kmail2(23566)/libakonadi Akonadi::SpecialCollectionsPrivate::emitChanged: Emitting changed for "akonadi_maildir_resource_1" kmail2(23566)/libakonadi Akonadi::SpecialCollectionsPrivate::emitChanged: Emitting defaultFoldersChanged. kmail2(23566) MailCommon::Kernel::initFolders: Initialized and looking for specialcollection folders. kmail2(23566)/libakonadi Akonadi::SpecialCollectionsPrivate::emitChanged: Emitting changed for "akonadi_maildir_resource_1" kmail2(23566)/libakonadi Akonadi::SpecialCollectionsPrivate::emitChanged: Emitting defaultFoldersChanged. kmail2(23566) MailCommon::Kernel::initFolders: Initialized and looking for specialcollection folders. 1391186 5 dvratil 2013-08-20 11:18:14 +0000 Frederik, you problem might be related to https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=322958 1391214 6 gladhorn 2013-08-20 13:03:55 +0000 Thanks Daniel!!! So it is fixed for me as soon as I deleted a second "outbox" of the empty "local folders" account. I had one outbox in English, the other one in Norwegian, so I guess changing languages has the potential to mess things up by creating duplicate special folders. Now I have kmail working at great speeds again :) 1391286 7 kde 2013-08-20 17:13:50 +0000 Confirmed to be dupe, deleting duplicate outbox fixed the issue. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 322958 ***
