I can confirm a general problem, also when using IMAP. When doing _any_ operation that involves a large amount of mail (perhaps 500+), kmail regularly hangs or crashes or otherwise fails. There may be several separate underlying issues, but the general result is the same.
In my case, we have monitoring apps that are known to go haywire occasionally and flood me with 1-2k mails. This usually means I have to fire up almost any other mail client to handle it, because kmail will inevitably crash.
Could this have something to do with the progress window? Creating a separate progress bar for every mail being moved/deleted seems like a really bad thing when one has to delete 2000 mails... (Although these problems don't appear with local mailboxes, only IMAP)
Some results when doing the following actions on roughly 300 - 500+ mails in an IMAP box (servers have been cyrus, dovecot and exchange)
Delete (move to trash) - Hangs fairly quickly, usually have to kill
Shift+Delete - Seems fine at first, then UI hangs (over 30 minutes on 1500 mails, eventually had to kill -9)
Apply filters (Ctrl+J) - Any attempt to do this on more than about 150 mails results in hangs, crashes and/or lost mails. This applies to every version of kmail I've used for a couple years. I've disavowed IMAP filtering completely.
Move IMAP -> Local - Usually works ok. Minor hangs w/ 1500+ mails.
Move Local -> IMAP - 50% chance of crash or hang
Viewing/Refreshing any large folder of 1k+ mails - about a 10% chance that the list view will go blank. Can usually fix this by unfocusing/refocusing the large folder.
If there is any hard data you would like, let me know (doing a debug build as I write this).
Currently on
KDE 3.5.6
Kmail 1.9.1
