Greetings all;
So I picked the largest cur dirs, and using mc have moved about 2 years
worth of each to an outside of the ~/Mail view of kmail. And nuked
those index files, so it has to rebuild them. Its not done with that
yet, but we'll see. Damn this is getting old.
Cheers, Gene Heskett

The complete corpus of my Kmail (including nearly 20 years of archives like
yourself) is only about 4.5 gb, and my machine is built out of spare parts,
most of which are older than Utnapishtim's Flood. And while my machine is a
little slow sometimes, I never experience anything like you keep describing.
I hope to get myself an SSD to install as my home directory, which ought to
speed things up for me, at least.
It is a problem of diminishing returns: you want to have those archives
available somewhere, to find information that you saved, but now the size of
those archives is making Kmail unusable. So I would say, keep pruning until
it stops misbehaving. You will still have those old emails available, so long
as they are removed to where Kmail won't look. They can always be retrieved
if you really need them.

I've found it better to use the SSD for whatever the computer boots from. For
things like rootfs and swap. If you can add /home to that as well that's
also good. Then spindisks somewhere else for bulk storage. (I always use to
use /data/drive, but /media/username/drive seems the new norm for automount?)

Yes, that was my intention. I might eventually get into some fancier
partitioning, but for now I keep my home directory on the same drive as /
(and everything in it, such as the boot partition). I don't use my home
partition for saving anything other than very limited, temporary items.
Otherwise, I move everything to other drives. That way, if something bad
happens, I don't lose everything.
I don't need a big drive for my / and /home, and I see that I can buy SSDs on
Amazon for cheap. I saw a Samsung 500 gb SSD for about $60. My current "home"
hard drive is only 100 gb, with four serial SATA drives and two external
drives. Next is to get a bigger external hdd, as my present storage situation
is getting critical, down to megabytes in some cases, so I need to
redistribute the archives. (Note that I seem to have Gene's problem with "too
much stuff", just that it manifests in a different way.)
Any recommendations on best SSDs (most dependable, best value, etc.) would be
welcome, as I only know them by reputation, not from experience.

PS: Do get a SATA 6 Gbit/s SSD even if you MB only has SATA 3 Gbit/s

the 3 Gbit/s SSDs have crappy internals, 'cause they can.)

This should have given a newer, shorter directory with no blank spots

Restarted kmail, which took a long time to open its gui but hasn't
crashed yet. The regenerated sent-mail/cur now has a much shorter set
of index files. And it indexed it once and shut the indexing off, but
must have had to think about it as it just started up again. And I
think what I'm seeing now for an ls -la Mail is from the cache, no files
dates have changed in 6 minutes, but its still hammering away. And
finally, after 14 minutes, updated the times of the debian folders
index's. At this rate, probably another 30 minutes to do the 2nd full
scan.
I am reading each cores temp individually with gkrellm and its switching
cores when the individual core hits 50C.
I think if this helps, I probably should do the cur rewrite to shorten
the dir file as above on all the curs that have been divided into
subdirs.
But, I don't think it helped. Its still hammering away, but hasn't
updated an index file in over 20 minutes. I may as well send this and

I started a year ago with over 12GB but my moving of older stuff
out of the Mail directory has now reduced the "du -h Mail" to
about 4.8GB. I've stopped kmail 4 or 5 times, but on the
restart, and that nearly always crashes once, but before it
crashes, maybe 3 seconds elapsed, it has pulled all the "index"
files out of cache someplace I haven't found. So I nuked ALL

Stupid question: Do you compact email folders? or does Kmail do
that for you automatically every so periodically often? Mine is a
little of both; if Kmail doesn't do it, then I compact them

I don't recall checking it. Presumably this should make message

This is slightly reminiscent of the sticky buttons at the upper right of
the composer's screen. The entries they are supposed to lock are still
subject to random editing that I don't do, so I sometimes have to go
look thru the whole MaryAnn and move my sent-mail back to the sent-mail
folder. Or restore some other setting that S/B set and forget. Last
week it was go get about 10 days worth of sent-mail from this lists
folder. Anything in that 4 line header is apparently subject to being
randomly set to anything in its menu without a specific action from me.
And the "sticky" buttons are indeed checked. Makes me compare their
effectiveness to the appendages on a boar hogs belly,.. Despite being
checked, I can select and set them, all 4 of them from the multiselector
menu with a left click anyplace on that line.
Can a bug be filed on that? Composer "sticky" buttons don't work?
Thanks again deloptes, I do believe that was it. Does the handbook
mention this? Theres a fairly long list that I've not collated over the
last 20 years. Most glaring is its inability to go get new mail in the
background, which caused me to offload that to fetchmail-procmail and a
chain of spam and viri catchers. All synchronized by inotifywait.
I used to yell at Ingo K. over some of the more glaring ones till I
figured our he was attempting to herd cats. And wasn't that good at
it. ;-)

I don't recall checking it. Presumably this should make message
searching faster? Next Q of course is when will it self check itself
again?
This is slightly reminiscent of the sticky buttons at the upper right of
the composer's screen. The entries they are supposed to lock are still
subject to random editing that I don't do, so I sometimes have to go
look thru the whole MaryAnn and move my sent-mail back to the sent-mail
folder. Or restore some other setting that S/B set and forget. Last
week it was go get about 10 days worth of sent-mail from this lists
folder. Anything in that 4 line header is apparently subject to being
randomly set to anything in its menu without a specific action from me.
And the "sticky" buttons are indeed checked. Makes me compare their
effectiveness to the appendages on a boar hogs belly,.. Despite being
checked, I can select and set them, all 4 of them from the multiselector
menu with a left click anyplace on that line.
Can a bug be filed on that? Composer "sticky" buttons don't work?
Thanks again deloptes, I do believe that was it. Does the handbook
mention this? Theres a fairly long list that I've not collated over the
last 20 years. Most glaring is its inability to go get new mail in the
background, which caused me to offload that to fetchmail-procmail and a
chain of spam and viri catchers. All synchronized by inotifywait.
I used to yell at Ingo K. over some of the more glaring ones till I
figured our he was attempting to herd cats. And wasn't that good at
it. ;-)
Cheers, Gene Heskett But, I don't think it helped. Its still
hammering away, but hasn't
updated an index file in over 20 minutes. I may as well send this
and go catch up on my sleep.
Just found in the configuration options of KMail under (perhaps
"Others") there is "Enable full text indexing". Is it checked for
you
by chance?
What happens if unchecked?

I was hoping that we could somehow work in that place-name of a Welsh village
(just saw it again the other day): something like 116 letters long, mostly Ls
and Hs and Ws.
It has been taken up by various persons online who want to create the world's
longest domain name.
Soon other mailing lists will have Subject Line Envy.

Well, the relevant standard (RFC 5322 section 2.1.1) stipulates that an email header must
be no more than 998 ASCII characters in length, so if something were going to break,
I'd
bet it would happen around there.

Glad to could have helped. I was going through the translations of TDEPIM
and saw the string - connected this string to your issue, I thought this is
it and located it in the config menu.
I use KMail as primary mail client at home. I use it in Kontact. I have my
old mail from university time in a maildir. Everything else is an IMAP. I
think your process is complicated perhaps because of historic reasons and
could be simplified. But this is my opinion. I like simple and clean
solutions, because they are truly genius.

For what it's worth ... I read the earlier email from deloptes (and I hope
that a solution has been found for Gene's email): I *do* have that option
checked; yet I have no problems like Gene describes.
If the issue is resolved, then I suppose this is a moot point; however, if the
problem somehow returns, then this detail might be worth noting.
