I've spent the day watching KMail be unresponsive (using most of the CPU, not
updating the screen, not responding to the mouse) using a local (Cyrus) IMAP
server.
Moving messages takes many minutes, sometimes (even when it's not many
messages).
Getting the text of a message to display can take forever.
I disabled automatic checking, and this seemed to help some. The manual check
remains slow, I guess because it insists on visiting every folder.
Am I doing something wrong? Is my mailstore bigger than KMail was designed
for? Or is KMail just not that good at IMAP?
I have 2 imap accounts; a small remote one and a large local one. The local
one has about 115 folders (with several levels of nesting), some of which
have a lot of messages (several in the 10's of thousands, the largest around
80k). KMail's area under .kde is about 335Mg. I have yet to visit most of
the folders.
kmail 3.5.5.dfsg.1-6 (the about panel says it's 1.9.5) on Debian GNU/Linux.
3GHz Pentium4 with a decent SATA disk.
It's doing better than evolution, which can't define the accounts, and
arguably better than mutt, which hangs every time it exits a folder.
