Akonadi memory issue

Hi all,
Since a few months ago, I began having some problems with the memory usage by Akonadi server (which in my case is used only by Kmail).
In particular, since I open kmail, the `akonadiserver` process begins to grow from time to time - on an average of some 100s of MB per hour - until it consumes all the available system memory, and has then to be manually killed or restarted.
I tried to diagnose the issue with valgrind and similar tools, but to no avail, and the log/console messages are not particularly useful (see extract below).

Does anyone have any idea on how to proceed further on to find out where the problem may lay, i.e. if it may be an Akonadi bug?

Thank you!

Re: Akonadi memory issue

I'd create a new user and see if the problem is specific to your usual user. If so, your configuration didn't survive the many updates.
