Here is how you do that, first make sure you have leafpad text editor installed.


Code:
root
apt-get install leafpad
cd /usr/share/applications/hildon/
leafpad modest.desktop
Now look through the text file for all the things that begin with X-Maemo-Prestarted and delete them entries.

This will stop modest from automatically starting itself. It will only open in the background when you connect to the internet or it you open it manually.

Give that a try, also let me know how using htop went to find out the application draining ur memory
Thanks for the tip. Will modest remain open once i open it if it's set to update automatically? I do need emails and it's a pain to manually refresh all the time, plus modest wasn't a problem before.

Installed htop, pretty confusing but currently it says 192 total tasks, 1 running. Sorted it in order of memory usage and '852 root' is at the top with 6.5%.
If i update modest then root goes to 7.3%, modest takes up a whole bunch of processes all at 6.1%, and it says at the top for mem: 173/239, when i update modest also it brings up swap at 173/767mb

That mean anything to you?
