Screenshot of 100% CPU

I have been trying to view an email in past 2 hours without a success.

I'm trying to see my gmail Inbox via IMAP. I'm using kmail 16.12.3, I can barely finish throught the account wizard before my system becomes very sluggish and akonadi & mysql are pegging my CPU at 100%. My computer has been running very slow for past 2 hours producing wasteful heat and annoying noise.

I have 134 emails in my inbox and 50,000 emails from mesa/xorg/dri maillists residing in their own folder in gmail.

Why is KMail deciding to jump the ship and keep downloading all messages without my consent? Why can't I decide on my own and tell KMail Y/N whether to download all messages after I finish the account creation. KMail's UI is very unresponsive, I'm hitting the Inbox label but nowthing heppens, I don't know what it is really doing and when it will finish (if ever).

I don't know whether I'm doing something wrong or not. I don't know any other way to use KMail.

Thank you.

To the KDE.

Can you do gnu/linux users a favor and remove kmail from the existence of internet so this garbage never again reaches any distro so users can actually settle on software that works? Thank you.
