Version: (using KDE 4.2.2) OS: Linux Installed from: Ubuntu Packages When loading certain emails (notably ones which have a number of attachments), KMail (and by extension, Kontact) grinds to a halt. The CPU usage of the process goes up to 98 or 99%. When doing an strace, I get pages and pages of output such as: access("/home/akelk/.local/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/mimetypes/image-gif.png", R_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) access("/usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/mimetypes/image-gif.png", R_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) access("/usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/places/image-gif.png", R_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) access("/usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/places/image-gif.png", R_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) access("/usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/status/image-gif.png", R_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) access("/usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/status/image-gif.png", R_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) access("/usr/share/icons/hicolor/64x64/actions/image-gif.png", R_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) access("/usr/share/icons/hicolor/64x64/actions/image-gif.png", R_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) access("/usr/share/icons/hicolor/64x64/animations/image-gif.png", R_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) access("/usr/share/icons/hicolor/64x64/animations/image-gif.png", R_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) access("/usr/share/icons/hicolor/64x64/apps/image-gif.png", R_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) access("/usr/share/icons/hicolor/64x64/apps/image-gif.png", R_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) access("/usr/share/icons/hicolor/64x64/categories/image-gif.png", R_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) access("/usr/share/icons/hicolor/64x64/categories/image-gif.png", R_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) access("/usr/share/icons/hicolor/64x64/devices/image-gif.png", R_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) access("/usr/share/icons/hicolor/64x64/devices/image-gif.png", R_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) access("/usr/share/icons/hicolor/64x64/emblems/image-gif.png", R_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) access("/usr/share/icons/hicolor/64x64/emblems/image-gif.png", R_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) access("/usr/share/icons/hicolor/64x64/emotes/image-gif.png", R_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) access("/usr/share/icons/hicolor/64x64/emotes/image-gif.png", R_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) access("/usr/share/icons/hicolor/64x64/filesystems/image-gif.png", R_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) access("/usr/share/icons/hicolor/64x64/filesystems/image-gif.png", R_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) access("/usr/share/icons/hicolor/64x64/intl/image-gif.png", R_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) access("/usr/share/icons/hicolor/64x64/intl/image-gif.png", R_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) access("/usr/share/icons/hicolor/64x64/mimetypes/image-gif.png", R_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) access("/usr/share/icons/hicolor/64x64/mimetypes/image-gif.png", R_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
Does this still happen?
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.
