Any solution for that? I allready removed all my mail accounts without luck.

For how long did that process run for you? some hours? days? Never ending?

1. Did you restart after removing your mail accounts ? ...

2. Have you any other accounts there ? (like fb) - can you try just disable all them (for a moment, to see does it make any difference, so do not remove them, just disable each account ... then it is easy to enable them later again, after you see does it make any true difference) ... I think that you have to restart after that too ...

3. There is a suggestion of other user, so you could try too: "Completely remove the /home/user/.cache/tracker directory and rebooted. That got recreated, then smartsearch took some CPU for a very brief time. After that everything seemed to be back to normal." ... Use Filebox apps to do that (enable hidden files in Filebox, so you can find it) ... I just cleaned that folder by that way, to check could it be a proper advice - yes, it is possible, but I have not a such current SmartSearch problem here, so I can not advice you is it really a fix ...

SmartSearch usually has only few peaks on the beginning and then it disappears (I have never seen it to continue for long) ...

Hope that this gives you some idea how to fix it and I wish you luck to fix it - if you can do it, please tell us too
