Re: [Evolution] Memory Leaks in 1.4.4.

Well its quite possible this isn't a memory leak ...

If you just startup and do nothing, its using the minimum memory possible.  If you filter new mail, it might open new folders - causing memory usage to peak at a higher level.  Even if these folders are later freed it wont show up in top (top merely shows the virtual memory space allocated, not the actual heap usage).

And the same goes for just running the checking mail process.
