Description Marcus Hardt 2009-07-07 11:49:03 UTC

Version:           1.11.4 (using 4.2.4 (KDE 4.2.4), Debian packages)
Compiler:          cc
OS:                Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.28-10

Sometimes KMail eats up a lot of RAM and the GUI is unresponsive during this time.

I cannot 100% reproduce this ;-(

AFAICT is happens sometimes when moving mails from inbox to another folder. Sometimes it also happens when kmail was killed and I restart it.

My guess is that it reads all dimap mails into RAM. As I have ~7GB of mails in there and ~7.5GB RAM & SWAP this fits more or less, but the whole machine goes pretty slow.

Thanks for writing KMail, I love it!
