[MlMt] Mailmate just started filling VM and making system unresponsive

[Henry Seiden]

When MacOS first opens MailMate looking in Activity Viewer>Memory, there 
are four process types/names that run, called:
* MailMate
* MailMate Graphics and Media
* MailMate Web Content
* MailMate Networking

There are appearances of the above process groups showing up for open 
windows showing up as:
* about: (one for each of various windows you choose to show and message 
windows), about 20 in my case.

These use Real, VM, Shared, Private Memory allocations in *launchd* and 
other processes.

Total in my case its ~450MB of RAM. Since I have 32GB of RAM and my 
overall usage of App Memory including MM averages 16GB or less, I 
don’t feel an issue.

You may wish to share details on your system. Here’s mine (gathered by 
MailMate’s menu item, Help>Send Feedback). My system: 
MailMate/6058/282BCB28-893E-51E7-891E-F3272BC540D1 
15.0.1/arm64/MacBookPro18,3/10


Respectfully,
