When dovecot receives many full body downloads from a client, it could respond by sending the header only.

Don't tell the client about the mails -> user will miss old mails. Stop him from fetching body with a temporary "UNAVAILABLE" failure? -> Don't know how apple mail will react, but probably present some error to the user for every mail. The only possibility that would make sense to me is some form of rate limiting to reduce the server load. Give them some tens of Megabytes w/o any restriction, then reduce. Regards Moritz
