I've noticed that memory usage slowly reaches over 1GB if I leave Thunderbird running, so I decided to monitor it:
Here's the troubleshooting information: https://my.mixtape.moe/rrxlto.txt
Are there any logs I could look at to find out more about the cause?
Thanks in advance.

Re: Slow memory leak over time (Windows)
You have a memory leak. Frequently its due to an add-on or anti-virus/security software.. It can be a pain to track down the culprit but usually you can do that. See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Performance_- ... ird#Memory and/or https://wiki.mozilla.org/Thunderbird:Te ... e_Problems .

Re: Slow memory leak over time (Windows)
Thank you for your response. I had gone through the steps mentioned in the second link, but the issue persists even with a completely fresh profile (no addons, settings, or anything like that imported). Memory usage has grown above a gigabyte overnight with only 2 gmail and one XMPP account.
Once I have the time I'll set up the logging explained in step 8 and proceed to file a bug report.
