On a fresh install of Kubuntu 16.10 beta 2, I tried to use the import wizard to import my Thunderbird e-mail data to Kmail/Kontact. However, once it gets to the "Importing in progress...", the import wizard hangs/freezes/shows no indication of activity, leaving me to close the wizard. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open Kmail 2. In the top menu, go to Tools > Import Wizard 3. Close Kmail (while leaving import dialog window open, per its instructions), then click OK on the PIM Import Tool winow. 4. Select "Thunderbird", then click Next. 5. Make sure "Import Everything" is highlighted, then click Next. Actual Results: Import wizard freezes/hangs/shows no indication of activity or that it's importing. Expected Results: The import wizard imports the Thunderbird data and puts it appropriately into Kmail. Bug discovered while using: Kmail 5.1.3 Kubuntu 16.10 beta 2 x64 KDE Plasma 5.7.2 KDE Frameworks 5.26.0 (Kmail says its using KDE Frameworks 5.24.0) Qt 5.6.1
This bug is still present in Kmail 5.2.3 in Kubuntu 17.04 x64. I've updated the bug to reflect this status.
I have a similar problem with Debian stable and openSuSe stable. After importing about 5000 emails (~ 700 MB, divided into ~ 100 containers) plasma becomes permanently unstable, it hangs or crashes after some time when kmail starts. Although I have deleted the import folder, it appears again and again, because again and again a subscription activated, even if I disable it again. I suspect Plasma hangs every time Kmail updates the Thunderbird import folder. The approximately 100 containers are useless except for 6 (inbox / sent by 3 mail accounts)

This bug report dates back to 2016., but the problem still exists in 2024. I can confirm it for kmail 5.240.95 rc2 on Fedora 40. And, I am sorry to say it, it has never worked properly for me.
