I can confirm this problem for KDE 4.3.2, Kubuntu packages, KMail 1.12.2. The
lockup lasts for about a minute. However, I can't find error messages in
.xsession-errors for this time. In addition, I don't have any folders set to
expire mails. My archive (spread on about 30 folders) contains about 4000 to
5000 mails and has a size of about 750MiB - that should really not be that
much, I think.

I have the same behaviour, too - however, after wildly clicking some mails to
read them, it starts getting slower, ending in exactly the same 1-minute-lockup
as usual. It seems the lockup appears on startup only if there is new mail,
otherwise, it'll appear later.

Seeing that you have about 30 times as much mails as I have, and that startup
takes 30 times as long for you as for me, this seems quite plausible. My PC has
2,1GHz (2 cores, but only one is used by KMail) and 2GiB of RAM.
