I really would love for any suggestions on how to kill Modest completely.

Even when I'm not running the one minute notification script, it keeps popping up and pegging the CPU.

I've tried changing the notification interval to 500 minutes, sudo killall modest, etc.

Nothing that I do will stop it.

I'm fresh out of ideas.

Any help on this?

My videos are very intensive so I need every bit of CPU power to run them.
