Screenshot of 100% CPU

I have been trying to view an email in past 2 hours without a success.

I'm trying to see my gmail Inbox via IMAP. I'm using kmail 16.12.3, I can
barely finish throught the account wizard before my system becomes very
sluggish and akonadi & mysql are pegging my CPU at 100%. My computer has been
running very slow for past 2 hours producing wasteful heat and annoying noise.

I have 134 emails in my inbox and 50,000 emails from mesa/xorg/dri maillists
residing in their own folder in gmail.

Why is KMail deciding to jump the ship and keep downloading all messages
without my consent? Why can't I decide on my own and tell KMail Y/N whether to
download all messages after I finish the account creation. KMail's UI is very
unresponsive, I'm hitting the Inbox label but nowthing heppens, I don't know
what it is really doing and when it will finish (if ever).

I don't know whether I'm doing something wrong or not. I don't know any other
way to use KMail.

Thank you.
