& kmail; is known to have problems with large attachments. We are working on a solution for this problem for & kde; 3.2 but currently it temporarily consumes virtual memory of about 10-15 times the size of the attachment. That means that if you attach a 2MB file & kmail; might temporarily need about 20-30 MB of virtual memory (= RAM + swap space). If you do not have enough virtual memory this will lead to problems.
Sábese que o & kmail; ten problemas cos anexos grandes. Estamos a traballar nunha solución para este problema para o & kde; 3. 2, mais de momento consume memoria virtual unhas 10- 15 veces o tamaño do anexo. Isto significa que, se engade un ficheiro de 2MB, o & kmail; podería precisar temporariamente duns 20- 30 MB de memoria virtual (=RAM + memoria de intercambio). De non dispor de memoria virtual abonda, terá problemas.
