- aninteger 10y agoHow much memory is it with mutt, or Alpine.. or let's be fair, Thunderbird?
- jacquesm 10y agoThunderbird with a huge mail archive open: 1.5 G total, 500 M resident.
- kalleboo 10y agoDoes Thunderbird mmap it's mail archive or something? Because 1.5 GB sounds insane. Apple's Mail.app is only using 130 MB for a 1.8 GB mailbox. Might be an unfair comparison if Mail.app is leaning on the system for indexing/search (then again mds+mds_stores is using around 200 MB)
- jcranmer 10y agoThe metadata database for open folders is entirely resident in memory.
- 1wd 10y agoMy mail box is currently 700 MB on disk and Thunderbird uses less than 100 MB of memory.
- ikeboy 10y agoI use priority inbox, so 100-150 emails a page. I keep a gmail always open, but even opening a new tab with gmail gets up to 750MB within a few seconds. I have a lot of extensions (40-50), latest ubuntu and chrome 56.
- bitmapbrother 10y agoI turn email grouping off so 50 emails per page is just that. However, with email grouping and a 100 emails per page I could see it ballooning to 1GB depending on the content. I just tried Edge and with 50 emails per page I'm seeing 398MB used by that process. Setting it to 100 emails increases it to 405MB.
- BorisMelnik 10y agoyea I was going to say, I know for a fact that I've never seen Gmail go above 500 Mb and I check multiple workstations throughout the day. Ours usually is around 2-300 mb most of the time. If it is 1GB...maybe there are some Gmail / Chrome extensions etc?

- ikeboy 10y agoI use hangouts within gmail, could that be affecting it?
- BorisMelnik 10y agooh definitely, if it is within that tab then definitely yes. good call.
