Package: kmail Version: 4:3.5.1-1 Severity: important
KMail freezes it's GUI when sending mails or receiving new mails. This bug is especially flustrating when KMail filters mails through SpamAssassing, SpamBayes or ClamAV, since each mail takes secons to complete. Try to write a new mail to someone and check for new mails with SPAM and Virus filtering set up. Ensure you have some new mails to download. The mail editor will suspend for seconds (depending on the speed of your machine). This problem exists for years and remains unsolved. The bug is increasingly flustrating, since filtering time increases faster than available CPU speed. Is it possible to move the time consuming processes out of the GUI thread? Using a separate process or a dedicated KDE service could be a better solution than freezing the whole application. Filtering should run with a lower priority (around 10-15) to prevent unnecessary system hog when checking for new mail. See comments here: http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=41514 YES, this is a duplicate bug-report. But I think re-reporting this bug is essential, since usability of KMail suffers badly. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (990, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.14-sirius-20051219-0354 Locale: LANG=hu_HU, LC_CTYPE=hu_HU (charmap=ISO-8859-2) Versions of packages kmail depends on: ii kdebase-kio-plugins 4:3.4.3-3 core I/O slaves for KDE ii kdelibs4c2a 4:3.5.1-1 core libraries for all KDE applica ii kdepim-kio-plugins 4:3.5.1-1 KDE pim I/O Slaves ii libart-2.0-2 2.3.17-1 Library of functions for 2D graphi ii libaudio2 1.7-3 The Network Audio System (NAS).
