The above bug-file is actually big understatement.One opens kmail program and
it spends a few minutes in disk-reading before anything can be done.Once disk
activity stops, you navigate to a mail, frenzy disk activity begins again.A few
minutes before it can stop.You reply to a mail, write a new mail, frenzy disk
activity of basically disk read.One sends mail, another round of frenzied disk
activity of a few minutes.

disk activity which is basically disk read as displayed by iotop, is so severe
that running another program or doing another task in another program too is
not possible.Even typing withing kmail composer itself stops.

Finally, having enough of it, now I am moving to Evolution.I am not sure I will
like it, because previously I did not like it, but kmail has become unusable
itself and has done my Laptop unusable too.
