Bug Description

I'm using beagle for ~2 months now and yesterday I have upgraded my laptop to edgy.
Now I'm, having serious memory problems (I have 768MB RAM). I discovered that beagled itself consumes a lot of memory. I think it has a memory leak somewhere.

This is the data of beagled after ~25 minutes uptime:

  PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND
 5504 cornelis 20 0 309m 232m 11m S 0 30.7 11:23.82 beagled

The new thunderbird code is known to use too much memory.

Yes, I have a few Thunderbird IMAP accounts with ~500MB mails

$> du -hs /home/cornelis/.mozilla-thunderbird/

I'm also seeing this issue and have Thunderbird. beagled consumes all available RAM about 5-10 minutes after starting.

I have this issue also. I have a small thunderbird mailbox. beagled uses 130-300mb of ram.

Some problem I have.

I do not use thunderbird, and it is not even installed.

The core problem here was solved in 0.2.10, and the thunderbird memory is slowly being addressed in the bug I marked this a duplicate of.
