OK, thanks.  I reenabled it and disables strigi.  A lot less system
activity still.  But the irritating problem of unread messages coming
back persists.  Plus the jumping to a new message after new mail
arrives.

I get the feeling that it's just me.  I wonder what to do then.  It
seems like a lot of work to move aside all my mail and configure from
scratch and then (somehow?) import my tree again.  Actually, I don't
know how I would do that part.

The bug I opened is not getting any attention as far as I can see.
(This isn't a complaint.  I realize that there could be many rrasons
for this.  I realize that it could be getting attention that is not
reflected in Bugzilla.)  Would it be better to open a bug on Fedora
instead of KDE?
