memory leak with kontact / akonadi in Leap 15

[Daniel Vrátil]

Hi,

- can you check which process exactly leaks the memory?

- can you try to figure out if the memory growth is linked to any activity in 
Kontact or Akonadi, even a background events, like that your IMAP account 
starts syncing for example

- which database backend do you use?

- is there anything special about your setup? Maybe lots of IMAP accounts, or 
a ridiculously huge email folder etc.?
