Anyone else having a runaway memory issue when using Mail in Yosemite (latest GM - not PB)? I've got a bug report in and Apple has already requested technical info from my system, but closed my report as it matched someone else's that pre-dated mine.

I'm not seeing many people complain about it, which I find strange as it's hit all three of my machines, even doing a clean install. I can't hardly write a short email before Mail pegs the memory and forces me to quit. Even if I quit before I've hit 50+ gigs of ram used, the leak will keep going until it causes a force quit.

Makes for a distraction for sure - as I'm having to open and quit mail over and over just to keep from causing a full meltdown (which happens if I forget to quit or force quit before it hits the max memory available).

It's not like I'm lacking ram - I've got 16gb's on my rMBP 15", 8 on the iMac and 4 on the MBA.

When using a third party email app, like unibox, the problem doesn't happen.
