Talking of using memory. I have 4G on this 64 Bit PC. I have 10,000
messages in my Inbox which is ridiculous I know. But when I select all
these messages with ctrl-A, and then right click on them, I move the
mouse down to Mark and wait for the next menu, but the whole GUI becomes
unresponsive, and on the console I see all of memory gradually used
up. 4G seems a lot for an email client.
