With a modern machine and the latest versions, it's not too bad and responds quicker then kmail-1 did. With the old version, I often had kmail become unresponsive when synchronizing the email. I didn't loose any emails, but that is more likely related to the emails being stored on an imap server, rather then being lucky. I really don't see the point of forcing mysql as a backend. Sqlite would have been a better choice. -- Joost
