Hello Kertesz,

I fell your issue as I am facing exactly the same. Definitely killing the CM is not a good practice and
it does have its side effect; but there is no other alternative !!!

As a long time CM users; I don't think CM has been designed for a box with 8 GB or so RAM and
quad-core processor. I have 3 GB RAM with i5 CPU and it should be enough for a mail client. I mean
there is no other mail client which have such problem with standard H/W. Even I could run thunderbird
with all my account as configured in CM at a lower end PC without any hitch.

Surely CM is too good in searching, fastness etc.... but the discussed problem keep it behind
the other mail client. As a CM user sine long, I expect we will get the fixed in future release.

Thanks
