Description Vojtěch Zeisek 2010-09-27 18:40:07 UTC

Version:           1.13.5 (using KDE 4.4.5) 
OS:                Linux

I have an GMail, 2 IMAP a 1 POP3 account in my KMail. kio_imap very often takes huge amount of CPU and long time (50 % and 10 minutes, Dual Core 2.26 GHz). I also use KGPG to sign outgoing messages. When I type new mail, very often whole KMail stops respond for 10 to 20 minutes and I can do nothing with it. Latter it continues where it stopped. When it is not responding, very often kio_imap and akonadi processes are consuming lots of CPU (but not always). Also when I click to Send, it sometimes takes up to 10 minutes to show window to enter GPG passphrase to sign the mail. It seems like problem is somewhere in Akonadi or KIO_IMAP...

Reproducible: Sometimes




OS: Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.34.7-0.3-desktop
Compiler: gcc

Thank you for taking the time to file a bug report.

KMail2 was released in 2011, and the entire code base went through significant changes. We are currently in the process of porting to Qt5 and KF5. It is unlikely that these bugs are still valid in KMail2.

We welcome you to try out KMail 2 with the KDE 4.14 release and give your feedback.
