Ok - I'll have a look at this then and see how far it gets me.

Sounds reasonable: So far I see there are roughly 20k of mail messages
in each of these accounts. It seems that yesterday after first start
(and running on my desktop while I was in a meeting), geary downloaded
something like 16GB of mail data to my drive, even with geary set to
download just the last two weeks of mail traffic. Maybe it's just an
issue of overall amount of data after all...

Yes of course: I'm on antergos / arch linux, x86_64, up-to-date,
running recent GNOME and what seems to be latest version of geary
available here (0.11.2). This runs atop an HP laptop, i7 CPUs, with an
SSD drive.

The issue you provided *sounds* familiar except for that exactly this
behaviour outlined in there happens periodically on my device.

Thanks by now, I'll see whether I can provide more info; maybe someone
else knows this problem too. :)
Best regards,
Kristian
