[ale] Kmail Question

[Terry Lee Tucker]

Good Morning:

I'm trying to use KMail as my email client (Version: KMail 1.4.1 (Using KDE 
3.0.0-10). I like the filtering capability built in to KMail; however, when 
popping email of my internal mail server, it is dreadfully slow. Worse than 
that, the entire application stops responding to ALL events during the 
process. In fact, while typing this very message, I was suspended in time for 
one minute while KMail picked up two small messages from the server. I'm not 
using any encryption while popping off mail. I have a number of filters 
defined and I realize that this will slow the application down. What I don't 
understand is why the entire application locks up during this process. Surely 
this process forks when undertaking the pop operation. Is there anything I 
can do to prevent this or am I forced to find another email client?

Thanks for any advice...
