Summary:                    memory leak?
Description: 
I tried to rebuild folder list in sylpheed-claws. This gehts the folders
and all message headers of each message.

When I try to do this, dbmail-imapd wants more and more memory. It eats
all of my 512MB RAM and 1GB swap! All my eMail on imap Server are in whole
smaller than 100MB...

Its not the only thing where dbmail-imapd wants lot of memory, but in all
other cases it cools down after a while.

I'm unable to reproduce this one. I've tried sylpheed and sylpheed-claws.
Vanilla sylpheed is no problem at all. S-claws does indeed retrieve just
about *all* messageheaders from all subscribed folders. Yuk!!! Severe
pounding of dbmail and the sql backend. But I don't see any leakage from
dbmail-imapd. Memory usage stays  at roughly 9% on my dual-xeon 512MB
devel box for the imap daemon involved.

I would need TRACE_LEVEL=5 logs for any kind of sensible advise, but such
logs would quickly run into the megabytes. But a 'grep COMMAND' on such a
logfile would also be very useful.

I used mozilla-mail for several reasons now. Same here, when I download
bigger mail folders, it's the same as with sylpheed-claws. With bigger I
mean bigger in size rather than more messages...

Don't know wheter it is important, but I installed gmime since I updated
from released dbmail.
