Ok will look at it soon ~/.kde4/config/emailidentities file has 7 normal identities and over 400 (!) "unnamed" identities: [Identity #424] Dictionary=Hungarian (Hungary) Identity=Unnamed Image Location= Inline Signature= Signature Enabled=false uoid=1421546402 I've removed the "unnamed" ones and kmail seems to work again. I am having this problem too, in Kubuntu 12.04.2 with KDE 4.10.2. I have 1152 identities right now... A high number of identities leads to severe performance degradation in korganizer (bug 341776) Because of this history of bugs which add an unreasonable number of identities, and because that has severe performance implications I suggest adding a sanity check to kmail/korganizer that checks if the user has tens of empty identities, all called "Unnamed" (and also the localized version of the string, I have hundreds of "Unnamed" and hundreds of "Unbennant" identities), and if so prompts the user asking if he wants them deleted. Still with kde 4.10.2 ? Or new version ? for the moment I can't reproduce create empty identity here. I'm currently on KDE 4.14.2. I don't know if it is still reproducible. But my point in comment 4 is that even if it isn't reproducible anymore, many people will still have hundreds of identities because they were affected by this bug in a previous release. The only way to remove the identities is to edit an obscure configuration file. I think it makes sense for current KMail releases to clean that up automatically. The performance degradation in bug 341776 is currently reproducible, and it greatly affects usage of KOrganizer. It's not just showing/hiding resources. Everytime you try to add or edit an event, for instance, you get 100% CPU usage and frozen UI for several tens of seconds. For me it's not reproductible. but ok I can look at to remove "invalid" identity. but i need to know what is an invalid identity :) Created attachment 90455 [details] emailidentities file with 2000 identities > but i need to know what is an invalid identity :) Makes sense. :-) This is my emailidentities file. All entries called "Unnamed" and "Unbennant" were created because of a bug and are what I'm calling "empty identities". Git commit ac6fc3fbfed49bd948da18bd94ffd2203c782ad5 by Montel Laurent. Committed on 16/01/2015 at 22:05. Pushed by mlaurent into branch 'KDE/4.14'. Don't load invalid identity M +9 -5 kpimidentities/identitymanager.cpp http://commits.kde.org/kdepimlibs/ac6fc3fbfed49bd948da18bd94ffd2203c782ad5 With this patch I fix problem with invalid identity. But I can't close this bug as I can't reproduce and I don't know if it's fixed. (In reply to Laurent Montel from comment #10) > With this patch I fix problem with invalid identity. Wow that was fast. Thanks! With this pach I believe bug 341776 is fixed and can be closed. I'm using Kmail/Kontakt 5.0.2 and still have that same problem. Every week kind of I have to delete hundreds of identities. Confirmed due to Comment 12. Actually, Gerhard confirmed it for 5.0.1, which is not in the version list, so I chose 5.1. |
