Description Anders Lund 2011-07-14 08:48:48 UTC 
Version:           2.1.1 (using KDE 4.6.4) 
OS:                Linux

Kmail2 (or the akonadi email resource) is applying filtering AFTER putting the mail in the inbox folder and telling me it arrived. Then mails starts being moved to their destination folders, very, very slowly. This is of course plain wrong, filtering should be done prior to placing mail in a folder. As a result of the misbehavior, a lot of akonadi, mysql and nepomuk activity appears to be repeated.

Reproducible: Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
use kmail2 with pop3 and filters

Actual Results:  
slow, unsatisfying user experience

Expected Results:  
world class user experience

OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.39-ARCH
Compiler: gcc

Hej Anders,

with the new mail filter agent this should be more smooth.
The mails are still put to the inbox first (e.g. when coming from POP3) and are filtered afterwards (because that's what our design is supposed to be), but it's much faster now and doesn't block the UI anymore.

Ciao,
Tobias
