Fri, 10 Apr 2026 05:21:34 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/5341 out of memory error with 9K message mailbox I think Michael wanted to be notified about memory errors when devs use 24M memory... When I try to open a 9K message mailbox (sent-mail), I get the following error: Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 25165824 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 1572865 bytes) in /etc/httpd/htdocs/horde/imp/lib/Mailbox.php on line 689 php.ini has these memory settings: memory_limit = 24M Tue, 08 May 2007 23:40:06 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/5341#t32814 24+ megs of memory to view a 9,000 message mailbox seems reasonable to me (t-bird takes up *way* more than 24 megs to view a mailbox of this size). Don't think we can really do much about this without changing the internal imap processing in c-client. Sun, 20 May 2007 23:45:38 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/5341#t33223 OK, but IMP 3.x was able to open 100K message mailboxes. And quickly too. Why do we need to use so much memory to show the message index? There are only 20 mesage headers on the page... Just curious.

That would increase memory usage - at the expense of speed of course. Also, how are you sorting this mailbox? btw, I definitely see *much* slower mailbox accesses in IMP 3.x than 4.x. Not to mention we cache mailbox lists in 4 and we never did this in 3. > Why do we need to use so much memory to show the message index? > There are only 20 mesage headers on the page... Just curious. The only way you can determine a mailbox slice is if you know the contents of the entire mailbox. i.e., the only way you can tell what messages are on page 2 is if you sort the entire mailbox. Don't see anyway around this. Mon, 21 May 2007 22:33:39 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/5341#t33313 >> OK, but IMP 3.x was able to open 100K message mailboxes. And quickly too. BTW, did you really have a 24 MB memory limit with IMP 3? If I remember correctly, you really couldn't do anything at all in IMP 3 unless you turned memory_limit off completely, let alone set it at 24 MB.

We have no memory limit for IMP 3. Apache memory usages seems to be around 120MB for 110K messages. Does that sound reasonable?

Also, how are you sorting this > mailbox? No caching. We're using the default sort order for the mailbox. $ grep cache imp/config/conf.php $conf['server']['cache_folders'] = false; $conf['server']['cache_msgbody'] = false; $conf['mboxcache']['use_mboxcache'] = false; > The only way you can determine a mailbox slice is if you know the > contents of the entire mailbox. i.e., the only way you can tell what > messages are on page 2 is if you sort the entire mailbox.

Mon, 21 May 2007 22:44:38 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/5341#t33320 Now that we've moved away from c-client in HEAD, this should either be rejected or closed. Sat, 08 Nov 2008 05:26:04 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/5341#t50473 We'll reject it. Wed, 03 Dec 2008 06:51:03 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/5341#t51056
