nupas has done very well with large mailboxes, although I haven't
accessed a multithousand-message account with less than 256MB ram.
I'm unfamiliar with rpi-class subparcomputing but nupas should work
okay with comparatively little ram. the primary reason that we
haven't pushed to replace upas with nupas by default in 9front is
insufficent testing with the mbox format.
