1. clicked on an IMAP folder
2. searched by subject
3. selected all messages that matched (16000+)
4. clicked the delete button
Result: tb3.0b4 started eating memory like there was no tomorrow. Around 100MB/sec or so of virtual memory, so I killed it.

I submitted an Apple bug report (or whatever the correct name is :) ), but I cannot remember if/how I can link that in here.
probably a dup of bug 519226
Easily reproducible btw, I just tried again and hit 3GB of virtual mem in an instant, before I nuked the process.
OK, I've figured this out. I have a simple fix for tb 3.0, but a better fix will have to wait for 3.1.

Attached patch proposed fixSplinter Review
We were creating messageIds strings for all 4000 messages for each undo object, but with a single message key. Needless to say, memory usage got crazy. We really should be trying to create a single undo object for the batch delete, but it's a bit scary (actually, several undo objects because there are several sub-operations in the undo queue for a single delete).

This looks like part of a different patch and shouldn't be here?
 
>+      nsCString messageId;

I think messageIds is now obsolete - so that should be removed.

r+sr=Standard8 with those fixed.
