Yes.  See here: http://cvs.horde.org/incubator/Imap_Client

MIME processing is always going to be somewhat memory intensive.   
Streams *may* be a solution to limit memory when it comes to the body  
part of the message. however, at some point, that entire message is  
going to be in memory at some point (with the possible exception of  
streaming message part data when downloading a message).
