Bug ID: 444783 Summary: Keep getting "Retrieving folder contents" when doing a large operation on another folder Product: kmail2 Version: 5.16.2 Platform: Fedora RPMs OS: Linux Status: REPORTED Severity: major Priority: NOR Component: commands and actions Assignee: kdepim-b...@kde.org Reporter: fried...@gmail.com Target Milestone: --- SUMMARY When I do a large operation on a folder (delete messages, mark as read, etc on hundreds to thousands of emails) I cannot look at or do anything else with mail until it completes, not even in a different folder or different email account. I get the "Retrieving folder contents" message and have to wait (many minutes). It is acting as if Kmail or Akonadi is only single threaded. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Delete a large number of emails (many hundreds to thousands) 2. Click on any other email message. OBSERVED RESULT I get the "Retrieving folder contents" message EXPECTED RESULT I would expect to be able to view other email messages while the operation completes in the background.
