There are times when you know KMail will crash
by Anders on Tuesday 27/Mar/2007, @01:23

You select a mail in one of your IMAP folders, then the preview turns up blank. You try to select another one.. Crash...

And then there are the times when it just crashes.. :)

I have an IMAP mail store that isn't even that large, about 70MB and kmail simply cannot cope with it or handle mail in a time-efficient manner.

Besides the crashes, it is jut unbearably slow to move from one IMAP folder to the next one or to do a mail-check operation.

I have been forced to use evolution, because it simply has much more mature IMAP support now (although it sucked too a while back). I don't know whether taking a look at evolution's IMAP implementation could be of help to kmail developers, but it would make my life as a kde user to have a working imap client in kde. Kmail is find for pop, but I haven't use pop in years.

Mailody is doing IMAP quite nice. And it's "IMAP-core-functionality" is moving to a library (for KDE4). Maybe KMail will switch from using the KIO-slave to this library. Which surely would help, as the KIO-slave is no optimal way of communication in this case.
