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
