This is the cause of your problem. Netscape is trying to load and index all
the mail in your inbox and it runs out of resources with that many. You
should try to keep the inbox as clean as possible to prevent errors and
also to help it run faster. Just move your messages to another mailbox and
read them from there. The inbox is special in that it is always in memory
and Netscape is trying to build an index using the same memory space.
