           Summary: Kmail extremely unresponsive for some time after startup
           Product: kmail
           Version: 1.10.1
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: tony at beermad.org.uk


Version:           1.10.1 (using KDE 4.1.2)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

For several minutes after startup, Kmail is extremely unresponsive. It takes
many seconds, for example, to launch a composer window. Once launched there is
a long delay between clicking on the "to" field and that field actually getting
selected and accepting input.

I believe the problem is probably related to a large number (approximately 100
at last start up) of messages that appear in .xsession-errors:

kmail(6860) KMSearch::slotSearchFolderResult: "ClassifiedHam" found 0

(where the number at the end of the line varies between 0 and 6.

I am unable to say whether or not this problem is new in the latest release of
KDE4, as Kmail is auto-started when I log in and I don't often try to use it
immediately after it's started. The behaviour is also not consistent; as a
test, I just closed Kmail and restarted it and found it to be immediately
responsive, with none of the above messages being produced.

Just a guess; could this be something to do with expiring old messages? All my
directories are configured to do this.
