<div class="plaintext"><p dir="auto">With regards to memory consumption, I should clarify: the numbers I quoted include all of the processes spawned by MailMate. Currently, according to Activity Monitor, MailMate itself is running at a (relatively) svelte 950MB, and My All Messages shows 311097 (with All / Junk / Deleted at 311175 and All Message Subparts at 743438).</p>
<p dir="auto">Cheers,<br>
Marco</p>

<blockquote><p dir="auto">* W.R.T. memory consumption -- I haven't noticed whether the memory used by the processes depended on the size of the email, but I have seen MailMate's memory usage (as reported by iStat Menus) exceed 15GB -- I now periodically check, and restart the app when it gets near 10GB (I'm restarting at least daily). Currently, it's at 4.9.</p>
</blockquote><p dir="auto">Hmm, that does sound extreme. What is the size of your “All Messages” mailbox (number of messages)?<br>
