           Summary: Mail importer eat ALL the memory
           Product: kmail
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: unspecified
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: crash
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kmail-devel kde org
        ReportedBy: slaout linux62 org


Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.4.0)

I've imported all my Evolution mails to KMail.
Unfortunately, my Evolutions mals are 248 Mb!

It seems that once a folder (a mbox file...) is imported, KMailImporter... keep it in \
memory. So all RAM was filled little by little.
And then all SWAP was fulled little by little.
And then my computer begined to access disk all the time (perhapse to swap/unswap \
pages), CPU was unused, while memory and swap was 100% full. System responsiveness \
was very bad. After 10 minutes I managed to shutdown my computer without the brute \
force (to not damage my harddisk: always accessed by the system).

Can you unload from the memory the folders you just imported?
I was obliged to import my mails in two passes:
- Import from Evolution as much as KMail can do
- Stop it
- Delete some folders in my Evolution Inbox
- Restart computer
- Continue to import Evolution mails

And everything was OK.
But it's not what a regular user could have done.
