[Dovecot] POP3 with lot of messages

[Matt]

Receiving the message list is slow.  I imaging because there are several
thousand messages in that list.  To bad it could not gzip the list first
like apache can do with certain files.

I am pretty sure nothing can be done about this rather then use IMAP
instead.
