Re: Curious kmail question

kmail speaks gnupg which is nice. However, for me, it crashes - not
infrequently - there is a known bug if mail arrives and you are deleting or
moving a mail at the same time. For me with several accounts set up this
can happen several times a day - when I'm using a single low volume account
I have not seen it crash. Although there are a few known problems, as far
as I can tell development mostly ended a couple of years back. When it
crashes you have to hand kill all processes or wait a few minutes till they
die off before restarting it.

As I'm subscribed to several lists, I do have a fair amount of traffic. For
me it crashes maybe once or twice a week which could be under those
circumstances - but then most of my folder handling is done on the server
using procmail. While the indexing can be screwed up by such a crash, I
haven't lost any mail by it. However, the current version in FC6 (I say
that because I don't know whether it's kmail or FC's package of it that has
the problem) has one but that I could guarantee would make it crash. If you
try to move a hundred messages at a time it will crash - and that includes
deleting them. I now select around 50 at a time if I have to do a mass
reorganisation.

I'm not sure what you have in mind when you talk about your several accounts.
I presume that you collect all your accounts from the server at the same
frequency? Or maybe you don't and that's causing the problem. I'm just
questioning that because I do collect all accounts every 5 minutes and
haven't seen your problem. The odds on hitting the conflict you describe
would be so much less in that situation.
