Mail gobbles all RAM and infinite page outs after Upgrade to 12F45
I just upgraded to the latest 10.8.5 build (12F45), and now when I open mail it eats up all my RAM and then goes on a binge of page outs until I get an error message requiring me to force quit. I can watch It all happens over about a 10 minute period after opening up apple Mail. I can watch the Activity Monitor track the memory usage as it grows and also dominate the CPU, but have no way to stop it other than force-quitting.
There seem to be other discussions on similar topics, but I don't think they apply to this problem, exactly. I tried to look for a bunch of the typical bad actor files, but they are not to be found. I don't have any anti-virus programs, etc.
Any suggestions would be great.
Thanks
