KMail problems followup
Hi,
As I've written before[1,2], kmail2 has been very slow for me. Today, I
finally took the time to look into it and I found a workaround. In case anyone
else has got the same problem, maybe this will help:
Since I had already turned off email-indexing, I somehow thought that nepomuk
cannot really to blame. Well, today I realized that my nepomuk database uses
2.8 GB of storage! I have no idea how there could be as much metadata for my
files (~280.000) and email (maybe 10.000 mails total).
Creating a new nepomuk database (therefore losing any ratings and other
metadata I might have entered previously) indeed solved the problem for me:
1. Disable nepomuk completely in control center ("kcmshell4 kcm_nepomuk")
2. Kill remaining virtuoso-t processes
3. cd ~/.kde/share/apps/nepomuk/ ; mv repository repository.bak
4. Reenable nepomuk
KMail is now as fast as it used to be. I've also reenabled file and email
indexing (mostly to see if the problems return).
So before you give up on kmail completely, you might want to see if nepomuk is
the problem...
Cheers,
Johannes
P.S.: I just realised that there is a program called nepomukcleaner which
supposedly cleans up corrupted databases. You might want to try this before
removing the database completely.
