Interesting, I use kmail a lot on my desktop and laptop and have not noticed that in a very long time. It has actually been quite stable. I do use IMAP (cyrus) and akonadi is configured to use a postgresql database which is not running as embedded under my own user. (Postgresql is configured as a proper RDBMS using it's own user) I wonder of part of the issues most people are seeing is because of the default of using mysql embedded? -- Joost -- Sent from my Android device with K-9 Mail.
