A better question than how much memory it needs is how much memory is available. :-) I.e., the problem may be not that mairix is using a huge amount of RAM, but rather that it's using a reasonable amount of RAM but the VM it's running in is almost out of RAM even before you run it. The reality is probably somewhere in between those two extremes.Thank you. It's the whole computer out of memory. It's running on a virtual machine with 1.5GB of RAM. Is there a way to know how much RAM will be needed? I assume it's relative to the mbox size. Would another format like MH use less memory?
How much memory does "free" report is available (the last number on the "-/+ buffers/cache" line) when you're not running mairix? Do you have swap space configured, and if so, how much swap is available?
You can find out what's using up memory by running "ps aux | sort -k +5n". That'll display a complete process list with the most memory-intensive processes at the bottom.
