Ah, sure!
- Start KMail
- Setup ~50 filters.
- Setup mail checking every ~15 minutes [1]
- When KMail checks mail the whole program is 'frozen' until it finishes
checking for mail. [2]
- You can use any other program on the machine with no ill effects.
[1] I average slightly over 50 downloaded messages per 15 minute check.
[2] e.g. If you're in the middle of typing a mail, you can no longer type
anything into KMail. If you try to click on some other folder, nothing
happens. If you drag some other program’s window over KMail, the KMail GUI
gets whitened/blanked out until the mail check stops.
This is on my work machine (info below), so it’s not a 10 year old laptop,
which was why I was thinking it was a multi-thread issue?
Best,
Michael
This is strange. Do you get hundreds of mails in 15 minutes?
Could you run "htop" in a terminal so that you see which program is blocking? It
might be something spawned from kmail or something totally different.
