Description H.H. 2009-11-18 17:46:53 UTC

Version:           1.12.2 (using 4.3.3 (KDE 4.3.3) "release 1", KDE:43 / openSUSE_11.1)
Compiler:          gcc
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.27.23-0.1-pae

While receiving mails, the kmail gui does respond very bad. gui events seem to be blocked too much. I had no such problems with kmail/kde3

>1.12.2 (using 4.3.3 (KDE 4.3.3)

The KMail version in KDE 4.3.3 is 1.12.3. Please fix your installation and reopen the report if you're able to reproduce the issue with the correct packages.

I now have 1.12.3, problem is still present.

I can describe it a bit more specific now:
when I receive multiple mails (pop), kmail "hangs" at the start/end/between receiving two mails (so it hangs not while receiving a long attachment).

The gui may not respond for a few seconds in worst case and does not even repaint (put another application window in foreground, the put kmail in foreground again).

Qt-Gui-Event-loop seems not to be "called" often enough on some operations?

Well, looks as a part of the problem that ui and data fetching is not seperated into different threads within kmail. So I think this is a duplicate.
