--- Comment #4 from Christian Boltz
In case you still have the old KMail .index.* files in your maildir directories, I'd like to make a test: count how much space do they require and
I knew that backups are good for something ;-) All *index* files had a total of 187 MB.
how much is in ~/.kde4/share/apps/kmail
That directory has about 200 kB in my backup. I assume you were asking for the mailstore which is ~/Mail for me (yes, the mail location from the good old (IIRC KDE3) times ;-) I didn't check the size in the backup, but one more month of mails doesn't make a real difference in my grown-for-years mailstore. Therefore I'd say ~/Mail had about 5 GB - 100 MB more or less don't change too much here.
and compare with the size of ~/.local/share/akonadi.
I'm afraid you won't like that answer... ;-) It had 2.5 GB when I opened this bugreport and has slightly grown to 2.6 GB in the meantime. Now compare that with 187 MB of the old *index* files :-/ BTW: One of the reasons could be that Akonadi caches _all_ headers (checked in the database). IMHO that's pointless - ignoring the "Received:" headers would already make a big difference, and I doubt they are useful for searching. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
