You are right, I had to check "View/Identity" to set the identity when 
sending mail. My default was off. Works great

Example (real world, folders just renamed for easier reading):
* I've have folders A, B and C
* A --> 5 messages
* B --> ~4500 messages
* C --> ~9000 messages

1. After startup, VMDATA is ~1.9 MB
2. After selecting folder B, VMDATA goes up to ~9.5 MB
3. After selecting folder A again, memory stays at 9.5
4. After selecting folder C, memory goes up to 17.2 MB
5. After selecting folder A again, it stays at 17.2
6. After selecting folder B, marking all messages, and using "Message/Set 
Status/Read", memory goes up to 57MB
7. After selecting folder A again, memory stays at 57 MB
8. After selecting folder C, marking all messages and mark all read, memory 
goes up to 109MB
9. After repeating step 6, memory only slightly increases to 111MB

As it seems, we have HUGE malloc fragmentation here. I'll try to check this 
too.

Hope this info helps.

Ciao,
	Mario
