I tried this, but the problem is not solved. When invoking the garbage collection after every loop run, the amount of memory indicated by top stays the same for a very long time until at some point (at different messages), while it is executing the loop header, the memory increases until it hits 100% and swap hit also 100% => MemoryError Can there be a problem within the mailbox module while processing too large files?
