            Bug ID: 317315
           Summary: kmail2 doesn't seem to do proper multi-threading
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: kmail2
           Version: 4.10.1
          Platform: openSUSE RPMs
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: misc
          Assignee: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: ruchir.brahmbhatt at ecosmob.com

OS: opensuse 12.3 x86_64
KDE: 4.10.1 from KDE:Release repository

Finally I started using kmail2 as everyday mail client. It is so intuitive and
fast. However still there are some problems making it less efficient at times.
For example when it is checking all folders(I have lots of them) on a large
mailbox, when you want to refresh inbox, its not possible. Right click and
update folder or hitting F5 has no effect. Must wait for this process to finish
and then only any folder can be refreshed. Same way refreshing calendar(I have
google calendar configured) is also not possible while this process is going
on. Seems like it does mail checking in single thread only and not performing
any other action user performs and probably queuing it. I think action
performed by user like refreshing particular mail folder or calendar should be
done in parallel so user doesn't have to wait for long action to finish.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Have a large imap inbox configured.
2. On startup, kmail2 will start mail checking and downloading all mails(as
disconnected mode enabled)
3. Try to refresh inbox any other folder or calendar manually.
Actual Results:  
No response on action till mail checking procedure finishes.

Expected Results:  
Action performed by user should get equal priority and should be executed
immediately.
