Oct 21, 2014 2:51 AM in response to joetesterby DarkFroid,Me too.
Only running mail and safari, and it also never ever happened under Mavericks.
On thing I've noted is that Mail is now always in the "Apps using significant energy", never did before hand.
The is the first time I've regretted upgrading.

- 2.3Ghz i7
- 16GB ram

Oct 21, 2014 3:29 AM in response to joetesterby MacKing ,★HelpfulTry and reset the PRAM
Restart your computer and hold down
CMD + OPTION + P + R

Oct 21, 2014 6:43 AM in response to MacKingby DarkFroid,That seemed to work. Mail not reporting using significant energy anymore.
Bit of dumb question (but it's always good to learn), why would resetting the PRAM solve the problem?
I'll keep an eye on it and see if the problem returns.
Thanks

Oct 21, 2014 8:45 AM in response to joetesterby matthew o-b,Getting the same issue today. I've been running Mail and all of my normal apps (Calendar, Messages, Safari, Reminders, Pages) since I updated to Yosemite on launch day without a problem. All of a sudden today I've gotten two "application memory" warnings and have had to quit all programs, restart, etc. without any luck.
Tried the PRAM reset as mentioned above so we'll see how that helps. Not sure how doing that keeps the Mail app from draining application memory, though.

Oct 21, 2014 5:26 PM in response to MacKingby ajlow,Thank you for the suggestion. I did a reset of the PRAM but still get this issue...
It seems Mail has a memory leak as it is the only app I have to force quit. Also, it seems quite intermittent as I had to force quit Mail twice in quick succession while I was typing an email but I haven't need to force quit Mail for the past 40 minutes...

Mac OS Xmatthew,
Have you checked Activity Monitor (Applications>Utilities folder) to see what may be eating up your RAM? I, too, have 16GB of RAM and can keep multiple Adobe CC applications open along with Parallels and at least a dozen applications. I've never had an out of memory warning.
Check out your RAM usage in Activity Monitor and see if you've a runaway process running.
Good luck,
Clinton

Oct 21, 2014 5:41 PM in response to joetesterby joetester,I went to the Genius Bar today. They confirmed that my computer goes pedal to the metal (memory usage is surging for no understandable reason). So, They ran some system diagnostic reports and this is what they saw when they searched the system reports for any MAIL program issues...
***Notice the fan speed should be 2000-2500 rpm, the CPU usage of 95% for the MAIL program is unheard of...
Event: cpu usage (microstackshots only)
Thread: 0x183c2 (95% cpu over 95 seconds)
Duration: 95.00s
Steps: 98
Hardware model: MacBookPro11,3
Active cpus: 8
Fan speed: 4146 rpm***
Solution they provided was not much...
1. Wipe the computer clean and start over
2. Reinstall Yosemite
3. Wait for a patch
PS: Genius bar said PRAM has nothing to do with it. There could be older programs that are not YOSEMITE compatible that are still running in the background causing these strange surges. ???

Oct 21, 2014 5:39 PM in response to clintonfrombirminghamby matthew o-b,Like everyone else (it seems), my issue is with the Mail application.
I did do a PRAM reset and haven't had the issue since. We'll see...
Spent the day working with multiple apps open, including Final Cut Pro X, so here's to hoping it's been cleared up.

Oct 22, 2014 12:01 AM in response to joetesterby ajlow,Thank you, Joe and @clintonfrombirmingham for the info.
My Activity Monitor did show a massive surge in memory usage for Mail. It is quite shocking to see Mail's memory usage go from 103MB to trying to go over 12GB in less than a minute!
Oh well, time to wait for a patch...

Oct 22, 2014 1:33 AM in response to ajlowby clintonfrombirmingham,Since the problem seems to be fairly widespread, I'm sure that it's near the top of Apple's bug-et list.

Oct 22, 2014 9:52 AM in response to joetesterby Vince Egan,Having same problem but on:
iMac 27" Mid 2011 2.7 Ghz Intel Core15 32GB 1333 Mhz DDR3 Memory Yosemite 10.10
AND not on my MBA:
MBA 13" 13" mid 2012 2 Ghz Intel core i7 8GB 1600 Mhz DDR3 Yosemite 10.10 memory from activity monitor 141.5mb and rather steady
Is anyone else having this separation problem? Is it the architecture or Yosemite? Mail accounts are identical. The Mail app on the iMac is constantly growing but it remains stable on the MBA. Whassup with that?
The iMac can grow to 70GB with little effort just using the Mac. That does not happen with the MBA.
HMMMMMMM thought maybe time machine but thats off. Running Sophos on both machines. Never had problem in Mavericks and now see that it seems to be only on the iMac but see others with MBP having same same problems. Anyone else with MBA?
Thanks. This is quite problematic. Maybe sell the iMac and just get big monitor LOL
Also did PRAM did Disk Repair and permissions repair. Seems to be holding steady Cap'n must be the old dilithium crystals....

Oct 22, 2014 10:28 AM in response to MacKingby DbTtown,I tried this after "Memory Clean App" said I only had 1 gig left of the 8 and now I have 4 of 8 available. Thanks for this suggestion.
