Such high memory usage is unusual, most probable reasons are:
a] corrupted New Mail folder. While Pocomail is closed, go to System.pocosys subdirectory and delete all files starting NewMail.pocosys

b] corrupted poco.ini file. Close Pocomail, and rename poco.ini to pocoold.ini. On restart, you might want to re-add the address books.

c] conflict with third party software (usually antivirus, or nVidia's nView)

Apart from what others mentioned, some other popular email clients are Becky from Rimarts, Calypso / Courier, or Eudora.
