GPGMail 2.5b6 (Build 917b)

occasionally (cannot determine why it happens) the processes accountsd and securityd go nuts and start abusing CPU (33% to 100%).

   Hi Paris,

   thanks for taking the time to report this problem. We occasionally see this issue reported. Could you please temporarily remove the GPGMail bundle and see if the issues with high CPU usage persists after that. Please test for a day or two, since this issue does not happen all to frequently.

   • shut down mail.app
   • open finder
   • navigate to /Library/Mail/Bundles or ~/Library/Mail/Bundles and copy GPGMail.mailbundle to your desktop
   • now delete GPGMail.mailbundle from the original folder

   Restart mail and check in Mail.app > Preferences if you still see GPGMail. It should be gone.

   That gives us an idea, if this is indeed GPGMail related or not.

   Kindly,
   steve

   Hey Paris,

   that would tell us, that at least it's not a GPGTools bug, but probably mail.app related. Did 10.10.4 change anything for the better? Are you still seeing CPU spikes?

   all the best,
   steve
