<p>As regards sharing anecdotal memory usage - my main Thunderbird
instance is in autostart and I rarely restart it all, currently
clocking in at around 450MB (on a 16GByt Ram system) constant,
with a mail profile footprint of around 41.5 Gbyte I think
that's perfectly acceptable. It's more important to me that I
can quickly go through my email at any time and that the UI
doesn't become sluggish. It's currently "lean enough for me"
with only 15 active Add-ons installed.<br>

The good news is that I cannot reproduce the 500 MB maximum at first
startup. I can confirm that memory use is indeed dynamic, that's fine.
After a restart of TB on my system (MacBook Pro mid 2012, 4 GB RAM,
macOS 10.13.6) TB 68 now requires some 170 MB RAM just after starting.
Usage goes up to some 350 MB when I also start the newsreader and chat
and start typing in the compose editor. I have no idea what caused the
500 MB usage earlier today. I tried starting the webbrowser for
installing new dictionaries, but this does not do it. Lightning is
disabled, as usual.
Anyway, memory usage of TB 60 vs. 68 went up from some 150--200 MB to
200--350 MB dynamically, and there are some 50 MB compressed memory -- I
think this was much less in TB 60.
@aceman: Thanks to you, too, for explaining. I can quite understand that
resources are scarce. But in the case of Manually sort folders, the
add-on ranks forth after Lightning, Import tool folders, and Provider
for Google Calendar. So I think there is a need for that feature which
is a normal part of other mail clients, too. You might like to think
about it again some time.
