Hi, Iv�n. This is a known issue.

Today, Binc's memory consumption is equal to the size of the largest
message in a mailbox, converted to CRLF format. You will see the largest
memory consumer to be in the MaildirMessage class and MimePart's
printDoc/printBody function. Sadly, especially since memory a process has
been delegated once is never actually freed, this becomes a problem on
large systems.

We will get rid of this requirement. Binc should not have to require much
memory, but sadly, today it does.

Andy :-)
