  Or read mail via imap.  Memory usage remains fixed for any size of
mailbox.

  Pine's memory allocation isn't that bad.  Because it uses the c-client
libs, when accessing bezerk mailboxes, it loads the entire thing into
memory.  Using other mailbox types (which you may want to because bezerk
is terrible anyhow) will help a lot too.
