(This also causes KMail to mostly crash every time you search as well.) The best I've ever figured out is that there are ‘odd’ files/filenames/mails in the directories that don’t index correctly, so every time KMail starts it thinks it needs to re-index. Not that I've ever verified this as I have more than a million emails that KMail handles, and I’m not going to dig through all of them to find the ones that have some broken umlaut, or whatever screwy hex code, that’s causing the issue. Since you only have one directory with a problem, try ?? - close KMail - copying the ‘bad’ dir somewhere, - remove the ‘bad’ dir - start KMail - see if that gets rid of the problem If it does, at least you’re down to just one set of junk to sift through... Best, Michael
