Description
There seems to be a memory issue with large messages, especially if a mailbox has lots of them.
It looks like the server returns the full contents of all the messages, even though the client can only display a few of them at a time, and may not ever display them all.
This impacts the server, client and network.
Seems to me the server should only return what the client can reasonably display.

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by reproducing the memory issue with a mailbox containing many large messages, then trace how message contents are fetched and displayed; done means limiting returned data to what the client can reasonably display without unnecessary server, client, or network load.
