Hi,

I've found out more about "my" memory leak.  Regarding to the behaviour
of this new file selector box I think this is the problem.

I had saved a lot of mails to one directory, and there were ~3500 files
in it.  After I moved the most files to subdirectories, the time for
opening the box and saving a message was significant shorter. But still
this time gets longer every time I save a new message (or attachment)
until I close icedove and start it again.

My conclusion (only theory, I cannot read source code):

The file selector box allocates memory from the system to open and to
read the directory index.  It does not give back that memory (correctly)
to the system, but allocates new memory each time it is openend.  So I
think that it could help to check the source of this file selector box.

Greets, Sabine
