Okay so...I'm pretty sure yesterday i had 7 gbs of free space on my 32 gb Mtron SSD..Today i get this message saying i'm almost out of free space ( aroun 200 mbs ) :confused:
I deleted a few things in order to get a picture of what's really happening..
I lose around 100 MBs in every 2-3 minutes! I downloaded Disk Inventory X to do an analysis of my drive! I did 2 analyses within 3 minutes..
Here are the results:

Look at Mail message....
What the hell is going on???
Thanks

P.S.: Looking at my network status....800kb/s out all the time...If i close Mail, the whole thing stops, even the loss of drive space

Do have a disc cloning program running? Others have had this issue with the cloner making a copy of the HDD to itself.

There are numerous other threads on here in which folks complain about the same thing. You might want to do a search and see what their solutions were. Seems like someone starts one every month or so.

I had the same problem not too long ago. Mail kept loading up on messages, I just browsed the folders to see which account kept downloading messages, removed the account, then set it up again and everythig has been fine since.

I'm happy to hear that! I've since deleted my only account in mail, but that only restored around 2 GBs..By now I have around 10 GBs lost..
