A N900 has 256 MB (plus 768MB 'swap') and as such is rather memory- (and CPU-) restrained. Still, looking at my current running instance of Claws (on a T42p, 2GB/1.8 GHz Pentium M) the process has a resident size of 32 MB. The currently opened mailbox contains 4417 messages (I need to archive a few of these...), the IMAP folder tree contains around 300.000 messages. In comparison, browsing the same folder in mutt takes 20 MB.
I just tested it on a folder containing 40.000 message (list archive), this increases the RSS to 82 MB. The same folder in mutt takes 64 MB. In other words, the 'penalty' paid for a GUI instead of a TUI is around 10MB + ~15%.
