Attach GDB to the KMail process: gdb --pid `pidof kmail` 2. When GDB is done attaching, it has interrupted the application. Type "continue" to let it continue. 3. Press Ctrl+C at any time time to interrupt the application, and type "continue" again to let it continue 4. When KMail is interrupted, type "backtrace" to get a backtrace. That will show you in which code path KMail currently is. If you manage to interrupt KMail when it is using CPU, the backtrace should show which function uses the CPU and how it is called. Try interrupting KMail several times, when it is using CPU. If the backtraces have similar function names, then those functions are likely the ones using the CPU. If you manage to find a backtrace that's nearly always the same when KMail is using CPU, post it here. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugs.kde.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug. _______________________________________________ Kdepim-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kdepim-bugs
