[Kde-pim] harddisk access when starting kontact/kmail

[Sven Burmeister]

Hello!

When I start kontact/kmail it asks for the kwallet-password. Then it checks 
for new email. Yet even if there is no internet-connection, i.e. the check 
fails, kmail/kontact accesses the harddisk for >10 seconds thereby slowing 
down KDE starting other applications.

If the check does not fail downloading and processing email is slowed down 
too, because of the extensive harddisk access. If I understand the strace 
output correctly it tries to find some icons.

access("/usr/share/icons/hicolor/192x192/apps/quotecollapse.svg", R_OK) = -1 
ENOENT (No such file or directory)
access("/opt/gnome/share/icons/hicolor/192x192/apps/quotecollapse.svg", R_OK) 
= -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)

Is there another way to do whatever this is for in order not to keep the 
harddisk busy?

Regards

Sven
