           Summary: kmail leaks memory when moving messages
           Product: kmail
           Version: 1.12.4
          Platform: unspecified
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: mcarro at gmx.net


Version:           1.12.4 (using 4.3.4 (KDE 4.3.4), Debian packages)
Compiler:          cc
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.32-trunk-686

I've been moving folders full of messages from the local folders to an imap
server (dovecot). The folders may have a few messages or many thousands.

After a few minutes I started to notice that the memory used by kmail increases
all the time. htop shows always increasing numbers in the columns VIRT, RES and
MEM%. After every few full folder moves I have to close and reopen kmail to
avoid the OOM killer.

The leaks are more pronounced when the messages have attachments (or perhaps
happen only in that case).

Thanks...
