The memory occupation is roughly proportional to message count and with 
GtkClist there is no way to change this. Well, there is hardly way to 
change this with traditional mbox format (without using extra 
hint/index files).

(there is a "problem" with current implementation of IMAP caching that 
loads entire messages into memory but I guess you are not affected by 
this).
