If I run ThunderBird for 24 hours, note the used system memory, quite ThunderBird, and then return to ThunderBird, I can often regain between 100 and 200 MB of RAM.  ThunderBird is using more and more memory as it runs

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
start FireFox.  Use it for 24 hours. Note system memory usage using TaskManager.  Quite FireFox.  Restart FireFox. Note system memory usage has declined by at least 100 MB
Actual Results:  
over 100 MB of memory is reclaimed

Expected Results:  
memory usage should not change

Wayne: yes, I see it with both FF and TB.  Last time I complained, I was told not to use Flash plug-ins.  I've given up on this getting resolved.

Jon, Some possibilities for you to try, and then report results in this bug :
- if you need TB 1.5, upgrade to TB 1.5.0.13 which fixes bug 387403
- turn off GDS (google desktop search) if you installed it
- reduce number of RSS automatic checks for new articles (bump to high value)
- delete <foldername>.msf files with thunderbird shut down, and restart
 (some of the above are from bug 346361)

if the above don't help, start in _safe mode_, with v2 or executable/rpm from
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/thunderbird/nightly/latest-trunk/ and determine if same results
