           Summary: Overzealous paralelling in imap folder operations
           Product: kmail
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Debian testing
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: crash
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kmail-devel kde org
        ReportedBy: szo ies hu


Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.4.2)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages
OS:                Linux

I had the unfortunate task of merging two big (17000 and 9000 mails) folders. My naive aproach (select all in one and drag them to the other) failed miserably, kmail started to eat all the cpu and I had to kill it after waiting for minutes. Looking at the folders at the server revealed that nothing happened to them. Next I tried to select a few hundred messages and move only them. It worked, but it also used a lot of cpu and was very slow. When opened the "detailed progress window", I saw the every single message got it's own progressbar. I don't know if this means every messaga got it's own thread, trying to talk to the imap server or not, but either way it seems very unefficient and dangerous.
