Description Hans-Peter Jansen 2013-10-06 19:25:37 UTC 
After keeping kmail running for a day, it has developed this disastrous memory footprint:

hp        3314  2.0 44.6 16129968 7357132 ?    Rl   Oct05  32:21 /usr/bin/kmail -caption KMail

This translates to 14.5 GB virt, 7228M shared, which is a bit too much for my taste (and my system). I have two cyrus imap servers running, and huge mailboxes. Nevertheless, it shouldn't behave like this, and it hasn't until 4.11.2.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
keep kmail running for a day, and check memory consumption

This bug has only been reported for versions before 4.14, which have been unsupported for at least two years now. Can anyone tell if this bug still present?

If noone confirms this bug for a Framework-based version of kmail2 (version 5.0 or later, as part of KDE Applications 15.12 or later), it gets closed in about three months.
Comment 2 Denis Kurz 2017-01-07 22:46:13 UTC 
Just as announced in my last comment, I close this bug. If you encounter it again in a recent version (at least 5.0 aka 15.08), please open a new one unless it already exists. Thank you for all your input.
