I think I gave up on Thunderbird around February or March? Dunno. It was |

earlier this year. |

I've got a few hundred thousand messages. Not interested in asking the thing |
| 22 |
for an exact count, as that takes a while. ;) |

Thing is, I'd go for weeks, just fine, only 700MB or so of memory consumed. |
| 25 |
Then, abruptly, its memory consumed would climb to fill all 8GB of my physical |
| 26 |
memory. And if it happened over night, it'd be to about 1.4GB of swap before |
