I've got a similar (and unfortunately quite old) report from a user and 
in that case I'm convinced there is some kind of leak, but it has proven 
difficult to track down what happens. This user has a very small email 
archive of just a few thousand emails. I'll note your email address and 
contact you if I have a fix for this issue.

But note that MailMate is memory hungry and if you have a large message 
store then it uses a lot of memory. It'll increase sharply until you 
have received and sent a few emails and then it should stabilize.
