I've seen this as a result of corruption... The more you work with it the bigger it reports. You can try creating a new mailbox and dragging the messages into it using IMAP - This has worked for me sometimes, but other times it was one of the messages causing it and the corruption started anew... In this case you either need to isolate the message and get rid of it, or just delete the mailbox and create a new one... If you do isolate the message - try sending it to IPSWITCH -- Maybee they can prevent it if they know what causes it.
