No answers to your questions, but I can confirm that I occasionally get the |
| 31 |
same symptoms, i.e. during composing a new message or some times when I click |
| 32 |
on a new message to read it. It takes up to 10-15 seconds before it becomes |
| 33 |
responsive again. If I close the message composing window while waiting for |
| 34 |
the darn thing to unfreeze, the whole application crashes after the waiting is |
| 35 |
over. Starting it up does not restore the composer and any text I had written |
| 36 |
is lost. |

Unlike you I do not use mysql, but sqlite. So I think that this problem is |
| 39 |
not related to the database. |

|
| 41 |
Things that might cause it, although I cannot confirm any of these as |
| 42 |
definite, are kmail trying to connect to a mail server which for network or |
| 43 |
other reasons is unresponsive; trying to refresh CRL or gpg from pgp or smime |
| 44 |
key servers; compressing some of its own maildir folders. |
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
I'm currently running stable: |
| 47 |
|
| 48 |
$ kmail -v |
| 49 |
Qt: 4.6.2 |
| 50 |
KDE Development Platform: 4.4.5 (KDE 4.4.5) |
| 51 |
KMail: 1.13.5 |
