            Bug ID: 307704
          Severity: major
           Version: 4.8
          Priority: NOR
          Assignee: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
           Summary: Processing deletion of messages is blocking and
                    prevents fetching new emails
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: Linux
          Reporter: f.fainelli at gmail.com
          Hardware: Ubuntu Packages
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
         Component: general
           Product: kmail2

When doing massive deletions of messages (hundreds and hundreds), kmail
completely blocks any other action on the IMAP account (fetching of new emails
etc ...) for the time required to perform the deletions. There are two
problems:

- you do not receive new emails while deletions are being processed
- kmail does not warn about the deletions being processed, only the initial
request to delete messages

Please try to make deletions a background task and accept fetching new emails
anyway.
