Any chance the memory usage might be dependent on the setup - IMAP or POP accounts, indexing etc ?
Will it not simply go into swaping? You have to tell top to also display swap.
Try it. In my case above, 0 swap in use.
If David is right in his theory that TB basically uses available memory, and that for machines with large amounts of memory this becomes a problem, cgroups ought to fix it.
I have Thunderbird (now 68.8 under Leap 15.1) running constantly on my laptop fitted with 32GB RAM. It's currently consuming around 200MB. I almost always have Firefox (with a couple of dozen tabs) and Dolphin (several tabs too) open, anything else is not permanent. But system memory usage rarely goes over 4GB. (Bought the laptop secondhand, I wouldn't have chosen 32GB myself, 8 would suffice for me). So anyway, it must be something about your mail accounts, overflowing mailing lists or, as I mentioned in the other reply, the indexer going crazy. gumb -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
