I noticed something similar once when I was trying kmail, and selected all the spam filter options available out of curiosity. While downloading the messages from my pop3 mailbox the machine ground to a halt while kmail frantically consumed memory and cpu.
What were you using for a spam filter? I experienced the same thing when I once tried to use spamassassin. Since I switched to bogofilter I have no problem. So I think kmail is not the culprit, the spamfilter is.
I enabled everything on the menu, just out of curiosity. spamassassin, bogofilter, gmx IIRC. It is true that spamassassin requires some resources, but it does a fantastic job on the server. I was only curious about various options - something any user might try, with unfortunate results. Joe
