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.
