kmail (kontact)- memmory hungry and slow at start

[Xywa]

Hi ya!

Does anybody know what kmail is doing on the start? On fresh kde, my system use only 0.5G ram and 2.5G is free. When I start kontact, for the first minutes kmail is very slooooooooow, I can not work with it. Apart of that kmail takes rest of memory (~2.5G).

After few minutes, everything looks fine - but kmail still use all of the memory.

Do you have any idea how to fix it? Maybe kmail is upadating any database which is broken? Maybe anything else? I was using ~amd64, so I tought this was a proble. After reinsatling into amd64 (stable) - problem still the same. Maybe configuration file for kmail into /home directory?

My system:
Core 2 duo (T 5800)
3 GB ram
KDE 4.3.3

Hi Xywa,

one Idea.

Is your kmail configured to use the klamav /clamav Virusscanner via Filter-rules?
Try to switch it off and measure again.

As far as i remember this time is only a klamav for the 3.5 slot available, which needs other 3.5 kde-depencdecies to work proper.

Eventuelly her is somthing wrong with your configuration.

Andy.
