imp takes up much memory when displaying some messages, especially those
with big image attachments. for processing 10MB attachments, PHP may take
even 60 MB of RAM, and with images it's even worse (they are often
decompressed in server's memory). If you plan to have many concurrent users,
you may need much more of RAM.
