            Bug ID: 309920
          Severity: critical
           Version: 4.8.5
          Priority: NOR
          Assignee: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
           Summary: Kmail2 creates up to 70 mb/s write activity to the
                    disk without any running action
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: Linux
          Reporter: sskyman at web.de
          Hardware: Ubuntu Packages
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
         Component: general
           Product: kmail2

When running kmail2 it creates 40-70 mb/s write activity to the diks. There's
no running action or any user interaction. iotop lists a akonadi job as the one
creating the write activity.
Nepomuk is already disabled.
There are around 400.00 mails in the maildir format. The size of the mail
folder is around 2 GB. There was no problem with the former kmail. The problem
first occured when installing an new Kubunt 12.04.01 LTS.
It is strange, that there is only a huge write activity and not a read
activity.

If you need some more information, I will try to provide them. Upgrading to
unstable package is not really possible as it is a productiy environment.
Without fixing this bug I really consider switchting to another mail program as
it makes work really difficult.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start Kmail2
2. Watch disk activity.
Actual Results:  
The disk activity is around 40-70 mb/s.

Expected Results:  
The disk activity is low.

Output of "apt-cache show kmail"
