Description h 2006-10-16 10:10:31 UTC

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.4)
Installed from:    FreeBSD Ports
OS:                FreeBSD

when receiving an email with a large binary attachment on a remote IMAP account, kmail behaves in a rather clumsy way. first it takes a minute and a half to load the message index because kmail loads the whole message. then it displays a message with an earlier timestamp first. then it reloads the message with the large attachment again just to display a one line email with a mp3 attachment. we're not through yet ... the email or the mp3 itself needs to be downloaded off the IMAP server. roughly five minutes are wasted "downloading message data".

oh i forgot, when replying to such a one line email while the mail is still on the IMAP server, kmail wants to download the whole message data again, just to have one line of text in quote.
