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. I wonder how to confirm it? If I select multiple folders, the "Compact Folder" command in both the Folder menu and the folder list context menu are dimmed. Also, I wonder how to prevent it? I see no options that seem related.
Another thought that occurs to me is that it could be related to message "expiry." I wonder where that might be configured? I see reference to it in the KMail Settings under Misc -> Folders as "Exclude important messages from expiry." I see no other options related to 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. KMail uses mmap'ed folder index files to get its speed. I guess the write happens when these are closed. It could also be Beagle noticing that all the kmail folders changed timestamp and scanning them.
