Something that might be useful, although not an exact answer to your q. :) qpopper, unless compiled in server mode, will make a copy of the mailbox before working on it. That will add some considerable time to retrieve, particularly on a busy server, particularly with large attachments. I don't remember how to enable it on popper (some alternative pop3ds are: cucipop, in ports, Solar Designer's popa3d, at http://www.openwall.com/popa3d, neither of those make a copy of the mailbox. others can be found at http://freshmeat.net/appindex/daemons/pop3.html).
