My 2023 MacBook Pro 16" keeps bogging down and becoming laggy. I looked at my Task Manager thing and it is showing Mail is eating up 20+ GB of memory. How do I fix this or is this another Apple issue?

— Does the change if you shut down and restart the computer?
— Are you running any anti-virus or so-called "cleaning" apps?
— What does the pane at the bottom of Activity Monitor's window show for "memory pressure" and "swap used?"
Starting with OS 10.9 (~2013) Apple changed the way memory is managed. Today "Memory used" is applying either Windows standards or pre-2013 Apple standards and is no longer the pertinent metric. If Pressure is the the green and Swap is under about one MB, your memory management is doing its job.
The computer that generated that screenshot came is running perfectly.
Also note that any RAM "flushing" required is simply accomplished by a restart. No third-party "RAM cleaners" needed.

It doesn’t change if I recycle the power. it does however bounce between 2.5-26 GB
i am not running any anti virus or cleaning apps.
Mails is eating up more than 20gb in my 2023 MacBook Pro
