When I start Mozilla it takes about 18mb RAM.
After starting Mail (Ctrl+2) mozilla's memory usage goes up
to 80mb and above. I guess that it loads all mails in RAM.
(I do have a few thousand stored)
I think mail will be slower (especially for searches) if not all messages
are loaded at startup, so I'm not sure if this really should be fixed...

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Receive many mails ;)
2. start mozilla
3. start mozilla-mail

Actual Results:  
memory usage incrases very much

Expected Results:  
not so much memory should be needed ;)
Dupe.
