 I've Been A Happy Kubuntu User For Several Year's Now..
  
Till the Dist Upgrade to SEPTIC (:-{})  Ocelot  Killed My System

 So the next bit should NOT be taken as a RANT 
 
Here are  a Few E-mail Funnies 
 

Brand New Install   Oceric 11.10 Kubuntu 4.7.2 All  updates added   
   (P4 Quad 8Gb Ram 32Gb Swap)

Importing Old Kmail Into The New Structure 
 


Takes about a day... Then If you only have 8Gb Swap It Kills Init out of Ram
Swap now set to 32 Gb
 
Nepomuk Takes about 3Gb Ram Kmail & Kmail-Cvt About   8Gb
& Adkonad 1.5 Gb OUCH 

Dbus Can get upto 700Mb 

Running Kmail from the CLI 

        If You Select Messages on A Folder & then  Try to Drag Move  them into 
Another Folder  
If You Move The Mouse slightly Kmail Sends a Bad Xwindow Display Event
to the Command Line 

The ONLY Reliable Way is To set the Icon Size to the   Large Setting 
If you Move the mouse Before it Disappears when starting the Move it fails 
silently   AAARGH

 K-mail Says Ready in the Bottom Immediately ...

If you go-to a folder where you Have Just moved Messages from, ( Kmail shows 
Empty Even after  Refreshing the folder)

It says you will Loose Messages If You Delete That Folder 
(Maybe some locking problem between Kmail & Akonadi)
 
Wait a Few Minutes & Try Again It Now says the folder is Empty

Deleting Duplicates Does not work for Large Folders (I Now Have 80000Ish 
Messages in My Familiar Folder ) 

 Closing & Re Opening Kmail sometimes restores The EMPTY folders Ive Deleted 
With Messages in Them

Oh Yes selecting a folder & Setting Messages to Read Crashes Kmail, 

At Least I got a Back trace (BUG Report Filed) I Might have got a e-mail back 
But ...

Ive Managed to Disable Nepomuk  & The Performance a a Lot Better than Before 

 Before The Devs Get Too Upset is There a Debug Mode I can set Kmail Akonadi 
In 

To Provide More Info ???

 Most of These Things Just fail Silently 
 
Akonadi Test says Its Ok & Does Not show anything in the Error Log 

other than nepomuk not running 

 I an Looking forward to The Next Version of Kde Kmail
