Mail using 173GBs of Application Memory

Thank you for image above

Part 1 of 2

1 - Restart in Safe Mode. This will perform a Disk Repair, clear cache files and only load Apple Software, extensions and fonts. The boot up will be slow and can take some time - Normal.

2 - Safe Mode will also eliminate Third Party Software, extensions and drivers from loading 

3 - Does the issue present in this mode ?

4 - Sometimes a Safe Boot followed by a Normal Boot will just put things right.

5 - If not - there could be something in the main User Account playing up. To further isolate this - Set up users, guests, and groups on Mac. Then log out of the Main User account and log into the dummy account and test again if the issue persists.

6 - If the issue is present in the dummy account - then, this appears to be a System Wide issue on the computer.

7 - Download the Application Etrecheck directly from the Developer.

This is a Diagnostic Tool that makes no changes to the computer.

It makes a coherent and readable inventory of both the Hardware and Software used on the computer 

The application is free or paid from added features. 

The Report will Not Reveal Any Personal Information.

Read some of the posting and arrive at your own conclusions.

The The Built in Security  is all that is required.

What is presented in above images does not clearly represent anything related to the application Mail

If the user ( you ) wish to show

where this Mail Application is using 173GB of Memory ( RAM ), it would be better to use the Activity Monitor >> View >> View ALL Processes

Should the user actually mean Mail is using 173 GB of Drive Space - that is a totally different matter

To illustrate this refer to image below

EDITED - Spelling

ill look at this when i can and appreciate the help. Ive just finished completing problems with my Ventura install, Mail issues, created new user for that, whiuch took 5 weeks to sort.

Its time consuming to do all this, and to function in work, with a brand new £3000 machine which continually seems to pick up issues which stop the efficient working that it should enable

When time allows but have to ask, is the machine Managed by an MDM Service ( Mobile Digital Management ) services by the Company ?
