It's NOT the file size you have to worry about (with Blue Wave/DOS v2.30) 
it's the total number of message areas and the total number of messages 
per area that the reader can handle. 

The Blue Wave Offline Mail Reader, Version 2.30
HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS
Section 4.2  Requirements for Blue Wave/DOS

   Because of  the limitations  of DOS  (the operating  system), the mail
   reader is constrained to the limit of 640K of base memory.  This means
   that, even though you may have 8 megabytes of memory in your computer,
   DOS programs will only 'see' the first 640K.  This puts a limit on the
   number of  message areas  and the number of messages per area that the
   reader can  handle. 


BlueWave doesn't load ALL of the messages into RAM at once, but 
does load an index of them all.
