           Summary: kmail uses excessive memory
           Product: kmail2
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: openSUSE RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: marcel.wiesweg at gmx.de


Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.7.0) 
OS:                Linux

When opening folders which contain a few more mails (> 10000) kmail starts to
eat a lot of memory - memory usage easily above 1GB and growing. KMail1 managed
to load these folders instantly.
Note that KMail is in bad company with the mixedmaildir resource, which eats
about just as much memory.
KMail is also extremely slow (minutes) opening these folders, which may be a
separate bug or the same problem.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Open a folder with mails

Actual Results:  
Takes minutes and 2GB of memory

Expected Results:  
Happens fast (<1sec) and with moderate memory usage

OS: Linux (x86_64) release 3.0.0-1-desktop
Compiler: gcc
