Ok, the upgrade to F24 went quite well using DNF system-upgrade. However the updated Kmail did not :-( It is unusable with my ISP's IMAP server which is courier. I am aware that there are some bug fixes (in the newer PIM release) for courier IMAP but I don't think they would help my situation.
As it stands on every mail check old messages along with new are re-downloaded and in turn these are older ones are ghost messages so I cannot read or delete them. Over an evening, well an hour or so I had hundreds of dupes/ghost emails in my various folders making Kmail totally unusable :-(
:-(
I have different providers with different mail servers. One of the providers runs cyrus-imap and another has an outlook server. No problems on any of them. :-)
However... with Gmail's IMAP it is working Extremely well indeed.
I agree, that was one of the places where I noticed a noticeable speed improvement. Congratulation to Daniel and co.
I had my laptop turned on every week and today after restarting it I noticed, by accident, that kmail just works. No more problems with exausted processes/ threads. :-)
For the time being I will use Webmail for my ISP's IMAP and search kde.bugs for reports as I have seen this problem or similar posted on other forums.
Maybe 16.04 has fixes.. need to look out the changelog.
Plasma in F24 though is looking good and working well.
