Description Vojtech Juranek 2012-04-19 19:55:16 UTC
Description of problem:
After upgrade to KMail2, kmail consume almost all CPU, typically 60-95% of CPU. Example from top:

PID USER      PR  NI  VIRT  RES  SHR S %CPU %MEM    TIME+  COMMAND
2637 vjuranek  20   0  547m 373m  22m S 82.8  9.5  31:36.93 kmail


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
KMail 4.8.1
kdepim-4.8.1-4.fc16.i686

How reproducible:
almost always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. run KMail
  
Actual results:
KMail consumes more 60% of CPU all the time.

Expected results:
KMail consumes less ~ 10% of CPU once started

Here is sample output from strace (when taken, according to progress window, kmail didn't fetch new mails or didn't do any other activity):

Comment 2 Vojtech Juranek 2012-04-23 08:53:34 UTC
My observation is that some folders (IMAP as well as local) show wheel icon instead of folder icon (means loading something?). If I click on given folder, the content almost immediately appears and wheel icon is replaced by folder icon. If I do it for all folders with wheel icon, CPU goes back to normal values.

Comment 3 Fedora End Of Life 2013-01-16 19:58:09 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 16 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 16. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '16'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 16's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 16 is end of life. If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on 
"Clone This Bug" and open it against that version of Fedora.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here:

Comment 5 Vojtech Juranek 2013-03-22 20:30:20 UTC
Hi, 
any change someone will look on it? After todays upgrade to kdepim-4.10.1-1 it's *much* worse. Before, when I click on the folder with wheel icon, after while folder got sycned, wheel disappeared and when I did so for all folders with wheel icon, CPU went back to normal. After todays upgrade this workaround doesn't work any more and kmail + mysql consume most of the CPU constantly, which makes the computer unusable. IMHO you should increase the severity to "urgent".
Thanks

Fedora 19 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-01-06. Fedora 19 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
