... but I can confirm that the memory being used by PMMail constantly grows. I 
wasn't able to track this down to the actual reason but I don't think it's 
related to the popup stuff too much cause there are only very few RMB popups 
in my case. But maybe there is a connection to the trash folder which is 
getting filled up and its index being maintained in memory.
After about two weeks of uninterrupted operation I have to stop and relaunch 
PMMail to get my OS back to life. This normally brings about 50 MB of virtual 
memory.

Regards
