Description Peter Gückel 2013-09-29 19:39:02 UTC
When running kmail, it is set to get my mail at start-up, which works. When I try to select a message, however, the program locks up, no response, no active icons on the program menu, for around (subjective impression) 30 seconds, then the message is selected. If I try to open the message, click another message or click on a different directory (trash, sent, etc), the same thing happens. If I try to close the program, even, it fails to respond and the window manager asks whether it should terminate the program. If I decline, the program will close of its own accord within about 30 seconds.

I was thinking it could be akonadi, but kaddressbook also uses akonadi and it works fine. Could it be virtuoso/nepomuk? I have email indexing disabled, or, as it is called, suspended.

Reproducible: Always

Actual Results:  
The software is close to being unusable in this state. It is close to pointless to sit for half a minute, just to select an email, wait another half a minute to click it and have it open, wait another half a minute before being able to click ŕespond', waiti another half a minute after closing it to be able to delete it, etc.


I am using pop, not imap

FYI... I just added several back-traces of KMail to the Fedora Bugzilla entry noted above by Peter.

Please enable kmail2 in kdebugdialog, start KMail from terminal and post here what it prints.

annoted kmail debug output

Started up kmail from the command line w/"--nofork", and have annotated the output with comments where appropriate.

Only notable slow downs in this output are:

- takes ~15s to load up the tree-view of folders, and
- takes ~30s to display an HTML formatted e-mail message

For reference, this is on a Core2 Quad Q9650 @ 3Ghz, w/8GB of RAM (e.g. a machine that I'd expect has more than enough horsepower to run kmail quickly)
Comment 4 Peter Gückel 2013-10-29 15:01:31 UTC
I have installed all of the updates as they have appeared in the fedora repos and the status of this bug is unchanged: kmail still locks up. Nothing has been resolved.
Comment 5 Peter Gückel 2014-03-04 07:06:26 UTC
This was fixed ages ago. We got kde-4.12.3 today.
