KMail (KDE 4.2.2) indexing? again and again
I just migrated from kde 3.5 to kde 4.2.2 (unstable). My system is up-to-date.
From time to time, kmail eats up CPU, Disk I/O and memory while it seems to go
through all emails (~25.000 and ~4,5 GB). Started from konsole, kmail outputs
lines like:
kmail(6098)/kmail (storage internals) KMFolderMaildir::getDwString:
KDE_fopen(abs_file=
"/usr/oms/Mail/.MailingLists.directory/Andere/cur/1239002674.5913.zKNVK:2,S" ,
"r+") == stream == 0x9ae7668
kmail(6098)/kmail (storage internals) KMFolderMaildir::getDwString:
fclose(mIndexStream = 0x9ae7668 )
kmail(6098)/kmail (storage internals) KMFolderMaildir::getDwString:
KDE_fopen(abs_file=
"/usr/oms/Mail/.MailingLists.directory/Andere/cur/1239009776.5913.15eQ9:2,S" ,
"r+") == stream == 0x9a2c7a0
kmail(6098)/kmail (storage internals) KMFolderMaildir::getDwString:
fclose(mIndexStream = 0x9a2c7a0 )
I already stopped kmail, removed all index files, started again. Kmail than
rebuilds the index files - that's what i expect. after a few minutes pausing,
kmail seems to start again... pausing... starting...etc.
I have the 'feeling' that something triggers the reindexing, like a new
incoming email or searching for an email.
When I say 'reindexing', i am not shure if this is really what kmail does.
Does anyone has an idea how to switch this behaviour off, since it is a killer
(kmail is almost unusable when doing so) ?.
Regards, Tim
