import and hangs. I can import the mbox but not everything else.
I know kde apps tend to be slower at booting up but are fine running, but
kmail seems sluggish even when running.
I have considered claws and thunderbird, but claws's spam handling system
sucks and thunderbird won't import my evolution folders.
Does anyone have any ideas on getting evolution working again or how to get
kmail to work at something approximating a usable speed?
I use kde exclusively and the slowdown that you mention only happened after
changing from F8 to rawhide. I suspect that this is probably related with the
kernel debug options that particularly hit kmail. This problem does not occur
with other kde applications just with kmail. :-(
Using Fedora 8.92 rawhide, fully updated last night.
