KMail, why is it so damn laggy?

philologos · 2006-12-17 14:16:31

Does anyone use KMail on a 2.6 Kernel, I like the way the client is and I like it's features, it just lags so much on loading in comparison to other programs. Is there any reason for this and is there any way of fixing it?

I always found KMail to be slow for me. It's just down to the way it was written tbh. Try using mozilla thunderbird, I use and find it fairly fast. What specs do you have on your computer?

I figured out when I stopped using XGL it ran okay.
I have an AMD 64 3700+, 1GB RAM, Nvidia Geforce 6200
