Fix settings (show_num=5000) stored in .pref files. See
http://www.squirrelmail.org/docs/admin/admin-2.html#ss2.2. Use other browser
or delete your server cookies stored in browser after updating .pref file.
If your browser has some session information with older show_num settings,
it will ignore your changes in user's .pref file.

options.php should not hit memory limits. Your memory is exhausted when you
load mailbox listing. options.php just happens to be next page you load. You
should see similar error on any other page (Addresses, Folders, Search or
Help).

See http://www.squirrelmail.org/docs/admin/admin-6.html. Make sure that
don't have SquirrelMail with server side sorting disabled, if your IMAP
server support IMAP SORT extension.  Make sure that sort setting is set to 6
in .pref files, if server does not support SORT extension and you experience
problems with large mailboxes. If you use Apache with PHP DSO extension,
enable PHP APC extension to reduce your SquirrelMail memory usage.
