I'm still looking and investigating. No luck yet. |

It doesn't appear to be a network problem for a couple of reasons. I run my |
18 |
own mail server and it's sitting right here on my local subnet. There's no |
19 |
problem communicating with it on either port 25 or 110. (I don't use imap, so |
20 |
that isn't involved.) Kmail itself doesn't exhibit any symptoms when I'm |
21 |
reading mail. It's only when I have Composer open. |
22 |
|
23 |
I'm not using LDAP or any sort of external addressbook, and I'm not sure why |
24 |
Composer would be accessing the addressbook while I'm in the middle of writing |
25 |
an email. I can see it happening on either opening or closing Composer, but |
26 |
not mid sentence. (Which, of course, doesn't mean it isn't happening. I'm |
27 |
just not sure why it would.) |

The only external resource I can think of that Composer would be accessing as |
30 |
I'm writing is the spellchecker and turning off automatic (ie inline) |
31 |
spellchecking doesn't mitigate the issue. |
32 |
|
33 |
Is anyone using or tried to use an external editor with Kmail recently? If |
34 |
not, would someone be willing to take a moment and attempt to do so and see if |
35 |
it works correctly for you? |
