A couple of days ago I was using my F11 gnome system where I use kmail as pop client and ran some ordinary updates (including several kde updates) from the usual Fedora repo. Subsequently I got progressively slower and slower kmail and then my whole system bogged. The current situation is that kmail is totally unusable, and as soon as I fire it up my whole system is on the verge of unusability. My mail is tied up in kmail boxes that I now cannot access. I of course have work in progress that I can't get at. There was a pretty good thread on this topic on the fedora-list and it was suggested that people on this list might have more info. So what I think is happening is that somehow akonadi and/or nepomuk are fried, giving extremely slow (glacial) performance for programs that depend on them. I was able to see from a nepomuk failure message a link to a kde site where there were instructions for a workaround. This helped a bit and I will no doubt need to find those instructions again and get familiar with the process, because the fix is transient. For unrelated reasons I've had to reboot and every time I do I'm back in glacial terrain. Can anyone (PLEASE) suggest a decent fix or provide more information about this issue?
