I've isolated it to the checking of the local mailbox. I had it set up to check some POP accounts, but Fetchmail fetched mail, gave it to Spastic, which filtered Spam using Spastic / Procmail, then delivered to /home/nick/Mail/mbox Kmail checked Local mail by going to mbox and then putting what is in there into Kmail mail folders using its internal filters. the mbox file has a few short messages in it; nothing with attachments, all text only. /var/log/fetchmail and /var/log/messages don't show anything interesting. Any suggestions anyone? Thanks, nick At 09:34 AM 3/20/2003 +0100, I wrote:
Hi, All, Running 8.0 and KDE 3.0 and Kmail all of a sudden began to freeze when It checks mail. Nothing I can do - I take a look in KDE System Guard and it shows me that it's running and sleeping. If I kill it and restart Kmail, it runs perfectly well until I check mail, at which point it freezes again. I have tried letting it sit for about ten minutes thinking that perhaps it's some huge file somewhere, but no luck. It's checking locally, too, with fetchmail getting the mail and delivering it to the user mail box.
I haven't changed anything with the configuration of anything on the box, which has been running flawlessly for months.
Any ideas anyone?
Thanks in advance, nick
