Summary: Kmail eats my RAM
Product: kmail2
Version: unspecified
Platform: Archlinux Packages
OS/Version: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
ReportedBy: vitruss at gmail.com
Version: unspecified (using KDE 4.7.0)
OS: Linux
I've configured only one IMAP account with 200k+ emails from gmail. After some
time kmail eats lots of my RAM (3G from 8G). Akonadi_imap_Resource eats
additional 200M. Sometimes kmail eats my CPU (50-100% on Phenom x4 920 @ 3Ghz).
Here is the report from KDE syste activity:
Process 27542 - kmail
Summary
The process kmail (with pid 27542) is using approximately 3.1 GB of memory.
It is using 3.0 GB privately, and a further 20.5 MB that is, or could be,
shared with other programs.
Dividing up the shared memory between all the processes sharing that memory we
get a reduced shared memory usage of 7.7 MB. Adding that to the private usage,
we get the above mentioned total memory footprint of 3.1 GB.
Library Usage
The memory usage of a process is found by adding up the memory usage of each of
its libraries, plus the process's own heap, stack and any other mappings, plus
the stack of its 2 threads.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Launch kmail :)
2. Wait for some time
Actual Results:
Kmail eats my RAM!
Expected Results:
I expected memory usage ~400M. Opera while browsing is eating 600M with the
same email account configured with IMAP (and additional pop3).
