Subject: Large POP inbox memory exhausted
Date: Mon, 5 Nov 2018 10:03:21 -0800 (PST)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <29c2c40f-534a-4665-964e-644b8e1a805a@googlegroups.com> (raw)

I am trying to configure gnus to fetch my outlook account, via POP.
The inbox has ~3Gb. 
Gnus starts the fetching process but throws an error,

error in process filter: Memory exhausted--use C-x s then exit and restart Emacs [218 times]

Can I instruct gnus to fetch only a number of articles each time?
Is there any general rules regarding the size of newsgroups that gnus can manage?

My configuration

(setq gnus-select-method '
      (nnmaildir
       "MyMail"
       (directory "~/mymail/.nnmaildir") 
         (create-directory "~/mymail/maildirs")
       (get-new-mail t)))

(setq mail-sources  '(
		       (pop
			:server "pop.gmail.com"
			:user "mememe@gmail.com"
			:port 995
			:leave t
			)
		       ))


Thanks
