I'm forced to agree. But if I have to do that, its likely I'll just jump ship to claws or even (spit) t-bird. This has been bugging me off and on for at least 5 years, and I've been mostly ignored, sent hundreds of crash reports all to no avail as far as solving the problem is concerned. Paypal has no clue who Tim is, so I've not been able to contribute, which bothers the hell outta me as a firm believer in TANSTAAFL. Not having paid my dues, I don't feel like I can demand.
Yes,
I've followed on and off your kmail woes. From what you describe this is a bug that should be fixed. kmail should not continually be putting a load on the system resorting indexes, etc.. There should be debugging that can be cranked up to cause TDE to spit out INFO level messages for kmail that may give a better picture of what is going on.
If the problem is that your mail store is too big for kmail to handle without thinking it needs to reindex -- that's still a bug and whether it is a Qt3 issue or kmail issue, both should be solveable today. (just off hand I can see if a limit is INT_MAX how a 20G mail store would be an issue), Regardless, whatever it triggering the reindexing needs to be identified.
Whatever was burning up the cores on your old box -- is still causing the same mischief on your new box -- it's just doing a whole lot more mischief a whole lot faster now....
