Hi Benny,

I've done a new clean installation with High Sierra and MailMate. I took 
advantage of the chance :)

I only reused Sources.plist, Identities.plist, Submission.plist, 
Signatures.plist, Tags.plist. Mailboxes.plist is from  scratch. 
Refetched all E-Mails (~460.000). Disk has plenty of space.

Result was no change.

Then I shut off MailMate and switched to Thunderbird for around two 
days. Everything worked fine.

Back to MailMate Problem persist.

The symptons are:

- Good performance in Mailmate
- Fast rendering Messages in Mailbox when clicking around or switching 
Messages with the arrow keys
- Suddenly after a couple of hours the spinning wheel of death appears
- MailMate hangs

macOS continues to work but *some* apps hangs after MailMate hangs and 
show the spinning wheel. These apps are for example: Safari, Terminal, 
iTerm2. Activity Monitor.app starts but do not show content. I can kill 
them but the don’t start anymore. Only reboot helps.

Is’nt this strange?

MBP 2017
16G RAM
High Sierra

Could it be that MailMate has a memory leak in High Sierra which affects 
only some Apple Apps?

Courious,

Tobias
