An aside: Do you mount /tmp as tmpfs? That might help if these are files in /tmp.Aaahhhh. I just removed this some days ago because I couldn't remember what this was good for ...it works much better now, although kmail still dirties inodes in ~/.kde/share/... . it seems, this behaviour only appears for "cached imap" accounts (aka disconnected imap).
Fortunately, dirtying inodes is not a problem -- the data will simply not be written until the disk spins up, or once every 10 minutes.
korganizer does sync a file outside of /tmp, it stops doing this when alarms are deactivated.
OK, there's still something to fix there then. --Bart
