Yes,

  I've followed on and off your kmail woes. From what you describe this is a
bug that should be fixed. kmail should not continually be putting a load on
the system resorting indexes, etc.. There should be debugging that can be
cranked up to cause TDE to spit out INFO level messages for kmail that may
give a better picture of what is going on.

  If the problem is that your mail store is too big for kmail to handle
without thinking it needs to reindex -- that's still a bug and whether it is a
Qt3 issue or kmail issue, both should be solveable today. (just off hand I can
see if a limit is INT_MAX how a 20G mail store would be an issue), Regardless,
whatever it triggering the reindexing needs to be identified.

  Whatever was burning up the cores on your old box -- is still causing the
same mischief on your new box -- it's just doing a whole lot more mischief a
whole lot faster now....
