Every time I run the built-in mail app for a while (like half an hour), the memory soars to 30 to 60 GB, which significantly slows down the whole system. Does anyone have the same issue?

Boot into Safe Mode (How to use safe mode on your Mac - Apple Support) by booting with the Shift key held down and check there to see if the problem persists. Reboot normally and test again.
NOTE: Safe Mode boot can take up to 10 minutes as it's doing some system cache cleaning, volume verifying and directory repairing.

I think I have solved the issue by deleting and adding back all the accounts. Thank you for your suggestions though
Did you
a) stop the process in Activity Monitor and/or
b) restart or shut down/boot up your Mac after changing the frequency?
I think at this point it would be helpful to download, run, and then post (use the little third icon from right in the toolbar) the report here, it is an excellent diagnostic tool:
(either direct from the developer or available at the app store)
Have you adjusted the timing on checking for emails? Try a setting every 10 minutes or more or, even try manually where it does not automatically connect and check in the background.
Thanks for your fast reply, but the issue persists in safe mode and after booting up normally. The mail activity window keeps displaying checking for mails...
Re babowa:
Thanks, I was on my iPad.....
Thanks for your suggestion. Unfortunately that does not change any thing. The activity monitor still displaying checking for new mail and the RAM is still increasing at the rate of 1GB/Min
That was initially set automatically. I have tried longer period even manually, nothing seems to change. The RAM is still increasing at the rate of 1GB/min
Glad to hear you got it resolved!
