Can anybody shed any light on what is being done and how, hopefully, I can stop that from happening? It never did that under 10.0.
Wild guess: compacting folders.
I guess that's plausible—I do use mbox mailboxes. ...
Another thought that occurs to me is that it could be related to message "expiry." ...
Expiry settings are per-folder - right click a folder in the list and select Expire... It's off by default, obviously, and when it is on it happens in the background while KMail is running.
Yes, I found them eventually. I've never used it and found none that were enabled.
KMail uses mmap'ed folder index files to get its speed.
The amount of a I/O that occurs is not dependent on the number of folders that were altered while running. This would seem to infer that the compacting hypothesis is not correct either, unless there's a bug of some sort.
I guess the write happens when these are closed.
Possible, though it seems unlikely. For one thing, I've had KMail crash, and if it was holding all the writes until shut-down, much mail would be lost, and that has never happened.
It could also be Beagle noticing that all the kmail folders changed timestamp and scanning them.
Beagle is not installed.
