are you experiencing the same problem that with about 20 mailing lists KMail slows the system down regularly? Especially when you set the maximum time messages are kept in a folder is set to say 30 days?
It's a fact that I suffer great performance problems with my about 20 mailing lists, not speaking about turning on the included anti-spam filter mechanism using spamassassin (and bogofilter), which really pisses me off.
Didnt have these problems with kmail, also with some subscribed mailing-lists. Some of them has no expire-time, so they have about 15000 messages in its directory. Overall my local mailbox has about 40000 mails. No performance loss with kmail from kde 3.4.x in SuSE 9.3 until now (3.5.3 in OpenSUSE 10.1). My machine was until last week a PIII 1000 with 384 MB Ram, and only if i want to search through all messages it slows down very much. Now i have a Dual Core T2300 with 1 Gig Ram and there is not much difference. Searching slows down the machine like before, but anything else went fine. Also like before. So i think you have to look at another point for your performance issue. regards, Jens
