OSX Mail disconnects and also hogs bandwidth

Since upgrading to Mountain Lion, my Mail accounts go offline over the course of a few hours. They don't restore with a "take all accounts online" command - instead I have to quit and restart Mail. Within a half hour or so, my me.com account goes offline, followed by the others.
A second issue is Mail hogging memory. My son is a PC gamer and we've worked out the snag by starting then quitting apps. We checked this in Activity Monitor: when we quit Mail "packets sent" dives from the roof to the floor.
Help appreciated.

To use iCloud's synchronization features, you must upgrade to Lion, not Leopard.
Mail.app in Snow Leopard will continue to function as usual. If you have a MobileMe email account (me.com or mac.com), you need to register for an iCloud account and manually reset Mail to use the iCloud servers instead of MobileMe. You won't be able to use iCloud's other features, but email will work just fine.
Non-MobileMe email accounts are not affected in any way.
