...and this is exactly why you should not use POP if at all possible.   
POP3 requires you to download all messages in a mailbox to figure out 
what is in that mailbox.  If the performance issue bothers you, switch 
to using IMAP.

Hi, first ticket so I hope my description is okay:

I let imp fetch my mail from a pop account (gmx.de).

I receive some fun mails there that are too big for imp (6MB). Imp 
downloads all mails up to that mail and then stops. When I let imp 
fetch again. It gets the same messages again (and again and again).

It does that until i delete that big message.

My server is a hosted one, so download speed isn't an issue. I have 
seen download speeds up to 5 MB/s on it.



Hope I could help, if you need any further information, I'll be happy 
to provide them. Keep up the good work :)
