Hi, Simon. Your experience is not at all normal - Binc IMAP should not consume that much memory and I have a folder with 17000 mails in it in, and marking all messages takes about 4 minutes, which is much but not as much as 9 hours! Measuring up the memory consumption of Binc IMAP on this folder I get 12MB, which is also too much but not as much as 128MB. If you are able to reproduce the memory bloating, maybe we can solve this problem. Andy :-/ -- Andreas Aardal Hanssen | http://www.andreas.hanssen.name/gpg Author of Binc IMAP | Nil desperandum
