Something strange happened to me this morning as I was downloading mail into Kmail. I deleted one of Lanman's mails and the Kmail desktop locked up solid, my CPU usage went into the 100% and stayed there. But nothing was happening in Kmail that I could see. So went into a terminal, and top showed that Kmail was gobbling up 98% of my CPU muscle. Killed the pid and all is back to as it should be. Is Kmail going flaky or are Lanman's mail becoming sacred or precious?
