No one sent you this "out of the blue." When you post in a user-to-user technical support forum, people understandably think you want help. And the first step in giving you help is to ask clarifying questions. If you don't find the answers useful and you can't bring yourself to say "Thanks," just ignore them.

Are you being paid for writing this? It would really be a problem.

If I contribute to a thread saying "Hey, this happens also to" adding some details that triggered the problem in my case, I don't want that someone with ZERO knowledge about basic OS, asks me for irrelevant questions denoting his lack of basic knowledge, we aren't here to ask how to open a file in Finder.

And yes, to make it more clear if you ask someone that has just tell you:

With lot less of used memory percentage -> This problem happens

If you add: It could be your HD that's full, then you just demonstrate you know very very few about basic OS

How much FREE space on your SYSTEM DRIVE?

It looks like your issue may be caused by a full drive rather than lack of available RAM.

No, obviously no.

You may think whatever you like.

I can assure you that most of the cases where the user "runs out of application memory" are NOT due to lack of memory, but of disk space. Maybe that is not your case, but since you mentioned only 20GB used out 36GB, it stands to reason that lack of memory was NOT the problem.

I think everyone in this thread hope that this issue will be handle as soon as possible by Apple engineers. Receiving responses like that just make me lose more time and it makes me questioning about the future of this OS, the more time pass the more it get unstable.

I do hope it gets resolved, but most people do not experience it, so maybe there is more to it than a "bug".

Thank you for something legitimately helpful.

I have to say that I don't see exactly what you've described - can't "turn off" mail accounts, but can delete an account. I had four, and deleted them in Settings. Restarted, opened mail, and it's running (with no accounts) at 86 MB. I've re-added three, and it's running at a tranquil 180-250 MB range.

Two won't re-add, because Google is throwing a tantrum with them. That's a separate problem to solve.

Might be unrelated, but it did just throw a “configd experienced a problem” error on top of the “out of memory” error.

Same thing happening to my M1 Max MacBook Pro with 64GB of ram since updating to Tahoe.

I am also having this problem on a 2021 M1 Pro mcbook pro fully optioned.

Here we are again:

That does not seem normal to me.

I have the exact same problem. Very embarrasing indeed! It is shuttiing down my 2022 Macbook Air like never before. Please fix this, Apple

Yes! And iOS is a complete mess.

I can work for a longer time, but it also happens there. What I haven't tested is a clean install. This takes too much time for me to get my Mac ready to work again.

just rehappened again today with less than 20GB used over 36GB total
