Kmail - seeking to speed up imap syncing (self.kde)

Hi Community, I’ve been an XFCE user for over a decade, relying on Thunderbird for my email needs. A few weeks ago, we decided to migrate all workstations at work from Windows to Arch Linux. For our needs, we chose KDE as the desktop environment that best aligns with our business workflow. Everything seems to be running smoothly so far, and to keep the KDE ecosystem as clean as possible, we also decided to switch from Thunderbird to KMail.

However, we’ve encountered an issue: IMAP syncing in KMail is significantly slower compared to Thunderbird. Our mail is hosted by Migadu. Does anyone have any suggestions or ideas on how to address this?Many thanks!

Not sure what do you precisely mean with "IMAP syncing is slow", as in when you tell it to sync it's slower than Thunderbird? Or that you're being notified by Kmail about new mails later than you did with Thunderbird?

Because if it's the latter, you may want to check under Settings -> Accounts -> Reception (or however that tab is called in english) -> Your IMAP account -> General tab -> Sync interval.
