Michael, I fully understand what you mean, but i doubt that's where the problem comes from.
It's running very nicely with the following software Forte / Applix 5 / Opera / Mozilla Agent under wine Nethack ;) Tomcat/Apache/Postgres Not every app at the same time, i do not want to shoot in my foots... I also patched the kernel to avoid swapping with Rick Van Riels patches (the former VM) 84 processes: 83 sleeping, 1 running, 0 zombie, 0 stopped CPU states: 0.2% user, 0.8% system, 0.0% nice, 99.0% idle Mem: 386124K total, 296320K used, 89804K free, 76888K buffers Swap: 326080K total, 26224K used, 299856K free, 125256K cached SIZE RSS SHARE STAT %CPU %MEM TIME COMMAND 29324 28M 11524 S 0.1 7.5 1:03 kmail And as you see it's not a memory nor a swap problem It's an all SCSI system except the burner and the DVD. /dev/sda2 1757080 1686812 70268 97% / /dev/sda1 28124 1387 25285 6% /boot /dev/sdb1 1066576 689736 376840 65% /home There's plenty of space left for the temporary files of the mail software The video card should be a well supported one Matrox G200 running in 16bits depth at 1152x864. I decided to fully switch my desktop to Linux, servers are all linux in my company. So imported a 3 years long email folders hierarchy with Eudora2mbx (http://www.jjminer.org/eud2mbox/) with a full hierarchy of folders, usually there are only 10 mails in the Inbox. Filters are cleaning up the mess that comes from my 5 POP accounts.... 115 folders, 85MB of data Hardware... OK Software... OK Software usage ... OK I compacted the hierarchy... emptyed trash... So I suppose that there must be a problem with Kmail as a standalone app without the KDE desktop or something else is making mess. AFAIK Do not know where, this is why i'm asking. I'd like something as easy as Eudora and avoid using Mutt or Pine. Sylpheed would have been fine.. but Kmail has some very good features with paar to Eudora (Filters, HTML... ease of use) Thanks for your suggestions anyway. ;) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
