Any defunct (zombie) processes?

I don't think so...

What is the output of ps -aux | grep Mail 
?
More info on your setup would help as well.

How much ram you've got on that system?  I don't know how you system can cope with 100 MS processes, since they usually are about 35 MB big, that means 3.5 GB of memory used..
