Description Mark Stanton 2016-05-22 12:30:21 UTC
Message and folder operations gradually stop working.
Message filtering stops with "only" 2.1Gb of memory (according to KDE System Monitor) available (out of a total of 5.8Gb).  There is over 5Gb of swap available, but this seems to have no effect.

With approx 1Gb of RAM available, messages no longer register as "read" when they have been read.  At about the same level, sent messages are no longer put in the folders selected for them but only show in the outbox.

While I appreciate low memory may cause lost of functionality, I struggle to think of these levels of available RAM as "small".


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use up lots of memory. NetBeans and Chrome loaded seems to do it.
2. Simply watch filtering stop working.
3.

Actual Results:  
Messages remain in the mailboxes they arrive in.
Using the "Apply all filters on folder" item from the Folders menu makes no difference.

Expected Results:  
Messages should be transferred to the folders selected for them in the filters created.
They should work as they do with lower levels of memory in use.

Thank you for reporting this bug in KDE software. As it has been a while since this issue was reported, can we please ask you to see if you can reproduce the issue with a recent software version?

If you can reproduce the issue, please change the status to "CONFIRMED" when replying. Thank you!

Since the "while" you refer to is over six years, no, I can't reproduce this because, in frustration, I simply stopped using software that uses Akonadi.
