It seems that when I have the Mail app open in Windows 8, task manager tells me that 'Communications Service' (also known as livecomm.exe), uses up a constant 10% of my i7 3770k processor. Way too much usage for an idling email app. I don't know when this started happening, but it has not always been doing this. The service also seems to be downloading/uploading something constantly. It used up 3GB yesterday in three hours just sitting there downloading something in the background. This is really carling me off. I don't have hours to waste on the phone or chatting with their tech support, and Microsoft has removed email support. Somehow I doubt they would understand the problem anyway. Anyone else having problems?
Update: problem remains after closing all metro apps. Only fix is to force quit livecomm.exe . Reopening Mail starts the process all over again. Mail is a very useful app and I want to be able to take advantage of it without it hogging my resources for no reason.
