[Kde-pim] Showstoppers in KMail

[Tobias König]

Hej,

since the plan is to release KDE-PIM 4.5 still this year and KMail is the most 
critical component, I'd like to give a list of bugs that are critical 
showstoppers IMHO and should be fixed before:

1) Performance: KMail/Akonadi/Virtuoso 4.5 is really slow for my 
pop3+localmaildir setup here. When I use only one CPU, one can see the single 
updates of messages in KMail and listing folders take several seconds.
	Steps to take:
		- backport performance patches from trunk to 4.5 if stable enough
		- investigate if there is unnecessary communication between kmail and
		  virtuoso (i think so, because when listing a folder, the load of
		  virtuoso increases)
		- investigate memory consumption and performance of local maildir
		  resource
		- investigate why local mail filtering is slow

2) Unread Information: The unread information get out-of-sync quite often 
here, so that folders with new mails have no blue number after the folder name 
or after reading a mail, the mail is not marked as read. Only a restart of 
KMail fixes this.
	Steps to take:
		- check whether this is a bug in ETM or the server

3) New messages notifications: The notification about new messages is broken 
when using local filtering. It happens that it reports e.g. '3 new messages in 
inbox' even 40 or more messages have been downloaded. But the notification is 
sent after the filtering is done, so it misses some new messages.
	Steps to take:
		- Let the resources send the notification instead of kmail?

These are the major issues I have with kmail2 in daily use. Does anyone else 
have other critical bugs?

Could we have a sprint where we address these issues to make it ready for a 
final release?

Ciao,
Tobias
