           Summary: DIMAP seems to load all emails to RAM.
           Product: kmail
           Version: 1.11.4
          Platform: unspecified
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: marcus.hardt at iwr.fzk.de


Version:           1.11.4 (using 4.2.4 (KDE 4.2.4), Debian packages)
Compiler:          cc
OS:                Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.28-10

Sometimes KMail eats up a lot of RAM and the GUI is unresponsive during this
time.

I cannot 100% reproduce this ;-(

AFAICT is happens sometimes when moving mails from inbox to another folder.
Sometimes it also happens when kmail was killed and I restart it.

My guess is that it reads all dimap mails into RAM. As I have ~7GB of mails in
there and ~7.5GB RAM & SWAP this fits more or less, but the whole machine goes
pretty slow.

Thanks for writing KMail, I love it!
