Hi, I encountered a Memory Error Exception on using IMAP4 just like in 
Python documentation example, on a specially large email (10 MB). Any 
idea how to fix/circumvent this?

 >>> typ, data = M.fetch(89, '(RFC822)')
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
   File "C:\Python24\lib\imaplib.py", line 426, in fetch
     typ, dat = self._simple_command(name, message_set, message_parts)
   File "C:\Python24\lib\imaplib.py", line 1028, in _simple_command
     return self._command_complete(name, self._command(name, *args))
   File "C:\Python24\lib\imaplib.py", line 858, in _command_complete
     typ, data = self._get_tagged_response(tag)
   File "C:\Python24\lib\imaplib.py", line 959, in _get_tagged_response
     self._get_response()
   File "C:\Python24\lib\imaplib.py", line 921, in _get_response
     data = self.read(size)
   File "C:\Python24\lib\imaplib.py", line 1123, in read
     data = self.sslobj.read(size-read)
MemoryError
