Well, herm.. I am not sure what to say about this... With CSCMail 1.7.8
top shows X using 48 megs of ram.  CSCMail is using 17megs.  Granted,
this is more than Ideal, but such is the way of Perl and gnome-perl...
(One of the many reasons I am switching to C... cscmail in C uses approx
2 megs of ram.)

Anyway, this is after CSCMail has been running for over 24 hours
continuously checking my e-mail and so forth... So... If you are seeing X
memory usage jump to 300 megs when you launch CSCMail, something must be
wrong with your install... What exactly are your system specs, including
OS/Distro version, Gtk+ version, Perl version, etc...?
