           Summary: kmail with akonadi too slow to download email, nepomuk
                    uses too many resources
           Product: kmail2
           Version: 4.8
          Platform: openSUSE RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: major
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: diego.ercolani at gmail.com


Version:           4.8 (using KDE 4.8.0) 
OS:                Linux

kmail with akonadi promises many feature but when you have a huge imap mailbox
(20k Messages) organized in folders, kmail simply freezes trying to download
messages.
If you have nepomuk services enabled all the system resource (8Gb Ram AMD
Phenom II) is used by indexing services.
While nepomuk/akonadi service isn't stabilized kmail must not use it, or if it
is possible, it should be disabled by option.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
launch kmail with imap account with many messages in it organized by folder


Expected Results:  
Read Mail

The bug doesn't cause data loss but cause loss of usability of the whole KDE
environment. And this is a pity. Akonadi, nepomuk are to young to be deployed
in the kde enviroment. Adding also the fact that plasma itself have many
problems. Please dear KDE guru take time to consolidate the desktop. I'm a KDE
entusiast since 1.4 but now it's very difficult to use on daily basis due to
its resource hungry!
