This bug makes kmail nearly unusable for me. Every time i start kmail I have to
wait something around 10 minutes before i am able to start working. Every
action before this time needs a really long time (e.g. displaying! a popup to
ask for a password needs 30sec). After the background search is finished i am
able to work without problems.

It is related to the automatically saved "Letzte Suche" in kmail. I have lots
of different IMAP accounts with thousends of mails - therefor the overall CPU
load is not that high and only kmail is unusable. 

Workaround: manually delete .kde/share/apps/kmail/search/Letzte\ Suche or every
other file within this directory.

This bug is related to bug 181370. Kmail must not redo the last search on every
startup.

Another thing to do should be to use a different worker thread to not influence
the GUI by long going searches. A search in the background should not stop the
GUI from responding to user interaction.

best regards,
Stefan
