It's 131 MB. This is after vacuuming using as per Andrea's suggestion. I didn't observe the size before vacuuming.

However, Geary uses SQLite for storing mails, which is pretty hungry for I/O. Try vacuuming the database: sqlite3 ~/.local/share/geary/*/geary.db sqlite> vacuum; This will both optimize the database and reduce its size. I tried vacuuming the database using the above commands. I think the behavior still persists. In fact now I find the disk writes getting even larger. What wonders me is that I'm not touching Geary at all. It is running in the background, as a minimized window. There's no email send or receive activity going on during this period too. Still I see this > 100 M disk writes from geary in iotop, and my laptop hard-disk indicator blinking continuously for 3-4 seconds every 5 minutes or so.
