Frequently, but not all the time, kmail is very slow bringing up emails leaving long pauses "retrieving emails" - I'm current using kubuntu 16.04 and this problem has started since moving here from 14.04 last month. In addition the attachment symbols are often missing in the list of emails, reading the email often, but not always, causes it to reappear. Sometimes this is just some emails, but, sometimes (at present) all the attachment symbols vanish. Hovering over the email in the list produces the same result - the tag showing attachment is missing even if the attachment is present in the email pane below. Sometimes this is fixed by selecting another mailbox and switching back but it is a bit random. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Select and email and wait for a long time for it to be retrieved Actual Results: Attachment symbols may or may not be present and there may be long delays retrieving emails Expected Results: Symbols should appear correctly and the random long delays shouldn't occur
I can confirm slow opening of massages in kmail. Usually these are messages with big audio or image attachments. I also can confirm that attachments are not shown in the header of the message.
I forgot to mention that I'm using Chakra Linux with kmail 16.12.0 akonadi 16.12.0 But this behaviour already prevails for a while.
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 "REPORTED" when replying. Thank you!
Recently Kmail, or Kontact respectively, are slow in opening mails. I'm not sure if this only holds true for IMAP accounts and/or has anything to do with the original bug. But I'm definitely sure that the attachment problem prevails. In some mails attachments are shown in the header as well as at the bottom of the mail text and sometimes - less frequently - only at the bottom. The latter might cause overlooking attachments. Maybe I should mention at this point, that I "prefer text to HTML" and chose "smart" attachment representation. This is my system configuration: Operating System: Manjaro Linux Kontact Version: 5.21.1 (22.08.1) KDE Plasma Version: 5.25.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.98.0 Qt Version: 5.15.6
