Description Mark Stanton 2015-12-19 11:40:58 UTC

I use Kontact (4.14.10 under Plasma5, Fedora22), and the akonadi_notes_agent always occupies around about this much memory.

I have very few notes, but it seems ALL my email is also listed in a notebook. I don't want this, I'm not aware of having set it up like this, I don't seem to be able to stop it.
If I select "Notes" in Kontact then its RAM usage goes up around 1.25Gb and 50% cpu usage.
I haven't been able to find a solution either from the help or the IRC channel(s).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Turn on computer
2.
3.

I use KMail 4.14.2 and also observe a very high memory consumption (6 to 7 GB) of akonadi_notes_agent.
I don't think that I've ever used any notes in KMail.

I have now solved this for me by deleting the notes agent as suggested here:
https://www.kubuntuforums.net/showthread.php?65497-Akonadi-Notes-Agent-hogs-memory

Actually, in my case, deleting the Notes agent in the kcm_akonadi GUI was not enough.
Only after I have manually deleted all lines containing "notes" or "akonotes" in .config/akonadi/agentsrc
and then deleting the notes agent via kcm_akonadi again,
the akonadi_notes_agent is gone (for good, I hope).
