I've done a new clean installation with High Sierra and MailMate. I took advantage of the chance :)

Back to MailMate Problem persist.

The symptons are:

- Good performance in Mailmate
- Fast rendering Messages in Mailbox when clicking around or switching Messages with the arrow keys
- Suddenly after a couple of hours the spinning wheel of death appears
- MailMate hangs

macOS continues to work but *some* apps hangs after MailMate hangs and show the spinning wheel. These apps are for example: Safari, Terminal, iTerm2. Activity Monitor.app starts but do not show content. I can kill them but the don’t start anymore. Only reboot helps.

Is’nt this strange?

Yes, and it makes it hard to debug since you cannot make a sample of the process when this happens.

Note that you can kill apps (including MailMate) using ⌥⌘+escape. It shows a list of open applications in which you can select and kill MailMate.

MBP 2017
16G RAM
High Sierra

This is the same as I have (2015).

Could it be that MailMate has a memory leak in High Sierra which affects only some Apple Apps?

That's a possibility, but it would have to be a pretty extreme memory leak. I do have 1 user (maybe 2) reporting an increase in memory usage over time, but nothing leading to what you describe.

You can try to keep the Activity Monitor open, but note that MailMate does use a lot of memory and it does increase over time (due to lazy loading of parts of the database).

If your settings is somehow involved then it is most likely to be one of your smart mailboxes. You can send me the `Mailboxes.plist` file and I can look for anything out of the ordinary.
