Mail.app memory leak. RAM use increases until system is no longer usable

I am having this problem since a week ago more less.
Mail keeps increasing the memory use from a starting 100 Megas. Increasing something like 100 megas each 10 minutes, until the whole system is unresponsive.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
PD: I have 3 IMAP accounts and 1 POP. In total 3348 messages. Running 10.5.4

Thank for the fast reply!
Indeed it happened to me. Whenever I dropped a file to the icon it would just hang up the computer. Then I removed my custom plugins (3 columns plugin, and Encryption plugin , I thing). And it worked well. Or at least I could drop files to the Mail Dock icon.
My impression is that it might be related with IMAP and Gmail. I have 3 Gmail accounts. One of them is my primary email account, it has many many mail. The "all Mail" folder is a big one and probably Mail is trying to catch everything. It does so slowly in the background, creating the problem. May be. Just in case I selected the option not to download attachment in mails.
Other suspect is the iGTD program I have been using. It syncs with Calendar and the ToDo folder in Mail. But the problem is still there even if iGTD is not working.
I remember reading something about email with attachment that had numbers on the title, or something like that. It would create a similar problem but I can´t find it now.
I have tried to control the output from "lsof | grep Mail" and "fs_usage -w -f filesys Mail" but I can´t find anything suspicius (not that I am an expert on that, though)
THANKS a lot for the help.

Yosemite - Mail.app memory leak

I'm seeing a recurring issue with Mail.app taking up huge amounts of RAM memory. There's evidently a serious memory leak in Yosemite Mail. On three occasions today, I noticed my free memory below 20 MB (I have 16GB). Activity Monitor shows the culprit to be Mail.app taking any where from 20-65GB of memory! I've had to quit Mail and restart it, only to have the same issue surface later. Does anyone have a way to mitigate/resolve this issue?

I apologize this is not the Discussion that has all the solutions. It's this one:
Yosemite OS 10.10 Mail Memory Leak
There are 19 pages so far, I'll see if I can find my post with the suggestions. Found it, it was on page 7. Here ya go. Hope it works!

Re: Yosemite OS 10.10 Mail Memory Leak
in response to Doug Lerner2
Thanks mlwebber & etresoft. I think we were able to narrow down the 4 most effective methods of temporarily resolving this issue it seems. I only had to disable the drafts to get back to normal, but others are reporting that using that in conjunction with a combination of 3 of the other methods from mlwebber are resolving their issues. Albeit this is only a temp fix until Apple updates their software & truly fixes this bug/issue, but, at least, I hope, we all can get back to business as normal for the time being.
Doren (from etresoft’s observations):
- Preferences/Accounts/Mailbox Behaviors: UNCHECK “Store draft messages on the server”
mlwebber:
- Preferences/Accounts/Advanced: UNCHECK “Use IDLE command if the server supports it”
- Preferences/General/Check for new messages: “Every 5 minutes”
- Preferences/Junk Mail: UNCHECK “Enable junk mail filtering”
Please post in this discussion if none of these methods help you and we'll see what we can do. We'd also love to know if these methods also resolve your issue. Thank you.

Mail app memory leak affecting business productivity

Ever since upgrading both my 27" iMac (late 2012, i7, 3.4 Ghz, 32 Gb RAM, 3 Tb hybrid HDD) and my 15" MBP (late 2011, i7, 2.5 Ghz, 8 Gb RAM, 750 Gb HDD) using Mail has become almost impossible. Both machines experience severe memory issues when using Mail. It is not uncommon that Mail hogs between 90 and 95 Gb of memory (seen in Activity Monitor). The app crashes several times every day, sometimes multiple times per hour.
Going on more than four weeks since the upgrade and the problem started, this is really affecting my business productivity.
I have tried many of the suggested solutions found on different forums, e.g. checking for add-ons, which I don't have. Also checking my one GoDaddy account settings which is using IMAP port 993 and never changed during installation, which some have experiences. Use SSL is checked.
Today Mail crashed multiple times and a 49 page crash report was generated.
I need this issue solved. If anyone has a real solution, I would greatly appreciate if it could be shared here.

I don't know if there's a "real" solution yet. There seems to be a very specific problem with the Mail application and GoDaddy's IMAP service. That it happens _only_ with GoDaddy would maybe indicate that the GoDaddy server is doing something strange (i.e. operating differently to other IMAP servers), and whatever it's doing causes Mail to go berserk.
Probably best to sit tight and hope that Apple fixes this in an OS X release. It seems like in the past there has been a first update out around a month give or take after an OS release, so fingers crossed.
Stuff you could probably do in the interim:
* Disable the GoDaddy IMAP account in Mail and use their webmail
* Use another IMAP client (Mailmate looks nice) in 30-day trial mode and hope it gets you through
There are probably more options, but they're all variations on the same theme.

Mail.app Memory Leak

While sending a photo heavy (200 small images @ a total of 12.6 mb) my mail app crashed, and now when I start it I see in iCleanMemory that it quickly grabs up all the resources, which brings my iMac to a grinding halt.
Are there any fixes anyone knows of? I trashed all my plist files from the MailData folder, but it didn't work. I went to see if I could re-download and install Lion from the App Store, but do not see a way to reinstall from there.

Another strange thing as I have tried to correct this problem manually (including starting in SAFE Mode) is that my home Library is hidden. Is this something particular to 10.7.1? I have to access my email attachments in a search in order to get to my Mail folder in the Library.

Mail app closes when not used for a while how fix?

mail app closes when not used for a while how fix?

This may also be due to the Sudden Termination feature built into OS X, which will effectively quit a process if the system is demanding resources. Mail can be a RAM hog at times, and if your system only has a few GB of RAM, then when other programs demand more and you have not been using Mail then the system will invoke Sudden Termination to quit it so more RAM is available elsewhere.
Do you have only ~2-4GB of RAM in your system? Check for this in the About This Mac option in the Apple menu, and if so then consider upgrading to more if your system supports it. Alternatively you can try quitting other applications to free up more RAM.
To see which programs are using the most RAM, open the Activity Monitor utility and choose My Processes from the drop-down menu. Then ensure Real Memory is checked in the View > Columns menu, and click this menu's title to sort the items by it.
Keep in mind that sudden termination does not fully quit the program, so Mail may still show up in Activity Monitor when you open it even though it may be closed from the Dock.

Mail app freezes after first use on iPad 3 and ios 8.1. How to solve?

Apple mail app freezes after first use after reset. iPad 3 and IOS 8.1. How do resolve?

Hi, sixfinger.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Try forcing all applications to close and restart the device. Once this is done test to see if the Mail app functions correctly.
iOS: Force an app to close

App Memory Leak When Open iPhoto

Hi everyone,
Does anyone have experienced app memory leak when open iPhoto? My free memory immediate dropped from 5000 mb to 15mb when I open iPhoto and the app never open. If I force to quit iPhoto, all return to normal and everything work fine. I only have iPhoto app running, not sure what caused the memory leak???
Looking for help.
Thanks
JHML

Actually the new library was a test to see if the problem occurred only with your current library or with all libraries. The fact that switching libraries cleared up the problem is just serendipitous.

I have a problem sending mail via smtp. I use a satellite system and the average return time for a ping is 675ms. Is this a problem with mail? If so can I change Mail to accept it. The problem also exists with Lion

I have a problem sending mail via smtp. I use a satellite system and the average return time for a ping is 675ms. Is this a problem with mail? If so can I change Mail to accept it. The problem also exists with Lion and on both my MacPro and my wife's Imac. I also see my mailboxes randomly disconnecting and reconnecting. Any other ideas of a possible cause?

I solved it myself, after the "note" which came back from FF/Mozilla just as I finished my message, commenting on what it was that my system had , I wnnt back to check my plug-ins etc. I downloaded the latest Java, BOTH 32bit AND 64 bit versions and latest Firefox.
Now all is working.
Thanks,

Mail.app memory use spirals out of control

Mail.app has developed a problem where it grows significantly in virtual and physical memory use, footprint upon opening just now is 132Mb physical, 497 Virtual. On three occasions yesterday I found my machine slowing down only to discover Mail.app holding >2Gb of virtual memory and constantly growing and all remaining physical memory. Asking Mail.app to quit resulted in no success and an increasing virtual footprint. On all occasions I had to terminate the application from the Force quit applications menu. My impression is that the machine would eventually grind to a halt from memory exhaustion or terminate the process however work pressures prohibited me from finding out which.
Background: I have 2 Macs with approximately the same config and setup, with email accounts and settings synchronised via mobile me. The main software difference is that the problem machine was upgraded to Safari4 upon its release and the non problem machine remains on the previous stable release. Since this upgrade, though I am not certain of the reliance, the mac mini has exhibited these problematic symptoms. I have checked for any Bundles in the ~Library/Mail and found none.
I am a competent unix user but naive at the idiosyncrasies of the mac so please feel free to point me to any specific troubleshooting guide or info on how to obtain better diagnostics

I "switched" to use Mail only yesterday, and am seeing this happen. Previously I used Entourage, but syncing problems w/ my phone were just getting out of hand.
I'm seeing up to 2GB/3GB of actual/virtual memory usage from Activity Monitor.
Any thoughts out there by anyone are appreciated. I'm using IMAP for GMail (~15k messages, including subfolders), 13k in my inbox.
Is there a chance that Mail is holding all those messages in active memory, rather than reading as necessary? What a bad design!? What are the chances that looking in thread view is causing this, rather than just reading them in order?

Memory leak when using Threads?

I did an experiment and noticed a memory leak when I was using threads.. Here's what I did.
======================================
while( true )
     Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
     String answer;
     System.out.print("Press Enter to continue...");
     answer = sc.next();
     new TestThread();
========================================
And TestThead is the following
========================================
import java.io.*;
import java.net.*;
public class TestThread extends Thread
public TestThread() { start(); }
public void run() { }
=====================================
When I open windows Task Manager, every time a new thread starts and stops, the java.exe increases the Mem Usage.. Its a memory leak!? What is going on in this situation.. If I start a thread and the it stops, and then I start a new thread, why does it use more memory?
-Brian

MoveScanner sc = new
Scanner(System.in);out of the
loop.Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
while (true) {
That won't matter in any meaningful way.
Every loop iteration creates a new Scanner, but it also makes a Scanner eligible for GC, so the net memory requirement of the program is constant.
Now, of course, it's possible that the VM won't bother GCing until 64 MB worth of Scanners have been created, but we don't care about that. If we're allowing the GC 64 MB, then we don't care how it uses it or when it cleans it up.

Yosemite and Mail massive memory leak and excessive CPU usage

I've just installed Yosemite and upgraded to 10.10.2 via the AppStore. Now I have a problem with Mail sucking up all the CPU (>106% !) and memory (>8Gb and rising while doing nothing). Everything runs fine when I quit Mail. Very disturbing behaviour!
I've tried several suggestions found elsewhere on the board here, such as turning off and even removing all Mail plug-ins including SpamSieve, but without positive results. I've tried un-selecting 'Store draft msgs on server', as well as the option for junk and sent msgs. but again without any difference. Going Offline within Mail also makes no difference to its memory hogging or CPU usage.
I notice this is an issue that's been around since last year (wish I'd known that before upgrading to Yosemite today) and I am just completely flabbergasted that it still exists. Would've thought Apple'd have fixed it in the first but certainly in the second incremental OSX Yosemite release.
Is there anything else I could try that's proven to be effective in stopping Mail's massive memory leak?

Okay, I've run Disk Util and restarted. Seems to have made a little bit of a difference to the RAM gobbling in that it appears to be going at a slower rate, but it's still up at around the 45Gb after an hour. Here's the EtreCheck report in the hope that it helps.

Memory leak when "Use JSSE SSL" is enabled

I'm investigating a memory leak that occurs in WebLogic 11g (10.3.3 and 10.3.5) when "Use JSSE SSL" is checked using the Sun/Oracle JVM and JCE/JSSE providers. The leak is reproducible just by hitting the WebLogic Admin Console login page repeatedly using SSL. Running the app server under JProfiler shows byte arrays (among other objects) leaking from the socket handling code. I thought it might be a general problem with the default JSSE provider, but Tomcat does not exhibit the problem.
Anyone else seeing this?

Yes, we are seeing it as well on Oracle 11g while running a GWT 2.1.1 application using GWT RPC. Our current fix is to remove the JSSE SSL configuration check, however this might not be an option if you really need it for your application. Have you found anything else about it?

Memory leak when using DB_DBT_MALLOC in CDB.

Hello!
Recently when I'm using Berkeley DB CDB and set the value Dbt DB_DBT_MALLOC, I noticed that the app's memory keeps growing during the db.get while;
I found that many codes on the internet use the syntax free(value.get_data()), but when I tried to free the value.get_data(), I always got an interruption error.
It's OK when I'm using the DB_DBT_USERMEM flag. So I just get very confused about the DB_DBT_MALLOC and DB_DBT_REALLOC.
And also, I wonder why there's no memory leak problem when we use the single thread BDB. I think BDB cannot free the value.data pointer too in single thread before the app finish using it, then why our apps don't need to free the data afterwards?
Thanks a lot in advance!

You should use free() to free the DBT memory allocated via DB_DBT_MALLOC. You should do that after each Db::get() operation (and of course after finishing processing/using the data), otherwise you will loose the pointer to the memory previously allocated if you happen to reuse the DBT with DB_DBT_MALLOC (the data field will point to a new memory address).
Alternatively you could use DB_DBT_REALLOC or DB_DBT_USERMEM.
Note that there are small structures that BDB creates in the environment regions that only get freed/cleaned when the environment is closed.
If you suspect that there is a memory leak inside the BDB code, make sure you rebuild Berkeley DB using the following configuration options (along with the others you use) when building: enable-debug, enable-umrw. Than, run the program under a memory leak detection utility, like Valgrind (allow the application to open and close the BDB environment) and see if there are any leaks reported.
If memory leaks are reported, then put together a small stand-alone test case program that demonstrates the leaks, and post it here.

Andrei

Makequeues memory leak when using Lexmark Z53

Behavior with printer switched off while connected to built-in USB port:
Problem 1: makequeues has a memory leak, starting up with between 3 and 5 MB of RAM. This is done by connecting the printer when logged in and watching via Activity Monitor.
Initially makequeues has sent 255 Mach messages. Every ~10.5 seconds, makequeues sends 59 more messages and gets 53 in reply. With each send/receive cycle, its RAM usage grows by 8 KB, a rate of 780 kiB/min.
Problem 2: The process is started each time the same printer is reconnected.
Symptoms: Disconnecting the printer doesn't let the process exit (any instance). If left alone, the memory usage cycle continues.
The memory leak caught my attention after taking up over a half-gigabyte of RAM when I left the Mac running over night.
Resolution:
(1) Disconnect USB cable
(2) Kill each instance of the process
Results:
(1) The process launches after reconnection of the printer with 996 KB of RAM, immediately having sent 60 Mach messages and received 56.
(2) During this run time, the process may use less and less RAM, down to a minimum of 912.
(3) After sending 64 more messages without replies, one every 4 seconds, the process exits after having sent a total of 120 messages.
(4) This behavior (1 through 3) is the same for each process launched as a result of printer reconnection.
This behavior isn't shown during Safe Mode boot - makequeues never starts up as a result of printer connection.
PowerMac G4 QuickSilver 2001 733Mhz

If this is meant to be a bug report, please file a bug report in the proper place. This is a user to user discussion forum.
As to the source of running 'makequeues' (/System/Library/SystemConfiguration/PrinterNotifications.bundle/Contents/MacOS /makequeues), I would look at the Lexmark software. I currently have two Epson printers connected via USB with CUPS running. I see no process 'makequeues' appearing.

Microsoft Windows 8 Mail App - Deleted Account still used as "From" Account

Hi There,
My wife has a Surface RT that has been upgraded to 8.1. She has been happily using the mail app (Imap account), and indeed prefers it to the Surface version of Outlook. The other evening I added my own Imap account to the mail app, but then removed it again
as I prefer the outlook version. Now whenever she sends an email from the mail app, it is using my email address as the From account (can see this by clicking "more info" under the To box) even though the account is not there, which results in no
email being sent as there are no server details etc. on which to send it.
How can i change this so that it is only using my wife's account ?
Many thanks for any help you can give.
Andrew.

Hi,
Regarding curren situation, please try to remove all accounts in Mail app and try to re-configure the IMAP account by refering steps "I can’t add or delete an email account" and "I’m having trouble with an IMAP account" in this article:
