Super high CPU usage for 'Nylas Mail Helper'

See original GitHub issue

Seeing very high CPU usage for ‘Nylas Mail Helper’ on OSX 10.11.2. See screenshot.

Consistently at 80%+, frequently bursting to <100% and bursting over at startup. Makes computer virtually unusable.

Think this is a renamed Electron Helper and to check, I have quit and restarted (the OS and apps) any other current running Electron apps (e.g Slack). It has no effect.

Are there any related issues?

What version of N1 are you using?

Is the issue related to a specific email provider (Gmail, Exchange, etc.)?

I don’t think so, but I have a gmail and a g apps account created.

Is the issue reproducible with a particular attachment, message, signature, etc?

Yes, reproducible on Macbook (2016) and MacBook Pro (2016) using same OSX version with fresh install.

Nylas Mail is designed to sync recent mails first and also prioritize you Inbox folder. After that, it will sync older messages.

I had to remove Nylas since the app and Mac were not responding. I don’t see the point of syncing all emails and not only the most recent ones as IMAP does. Syncing will take forever…
