It creates a temporary object on disk and I provided it with a finalize() method for cleaning up. The interesting thing is that this finalize is not executed until I shut-down james. This leads me to the conclusion that even if there was no ties to a disk operation the mipl.setMessage(mimeMessage); remains in memory long after the MUA has disconnected. Isn't this kind of a memory leak? After all, attachments to such a MIMEMessage can be 13MB large. Shouldn't those objects be null-ed latest after the POP3Handler.doQUIT of a session? --------------------------------------------------------------------- JIRA INFORMATION: This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
