           Summary: kmail triggers extremely high amount of disk activity
           Product: kmail
           Version: 1.13.5
          Platform: openSUSE RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: peebhat at gmail.com


Version:           1.13.5 (using KDE 4.4.4) 
OS:                Linux

Actually the summary explains it all.

There is not much customisation in my OS.This is stock OpenSUSE 11.3, with some
updates. If my memory serves me right, just after installation, the experience
was not at all this bad.

There is no specific action which triggers disk activity.Switching to kmail,
navigating in kmail, opening a composer, all trigger it.In one session, there
are many triggers.You switch to kmail, you start seeing the disk activity.For
some moments, I just cannot navigate.While navigating, I move to a new mail,
there is disk activity and movement takes time.Then I start writing a mail,
after some writing, heavy disk activity begins such that typing stops, mouse
stops.

Now I need to sit out a few seconds or sometimes minutes between two actions in
kmail.

I have confirmed the disk activity is from kmail from iotop.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Just use kmail in Opensuse 11.3 

Actual Results:  
No special step is needed.


OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.34.7-0.3-default
