What does this information mean and how is it relevant? I cannot find documentation other than a brief description in dovecot.conf:
%t - number of TOP commands %p - number of bytes sent to client as a result of TOP command POP3's TOP command retrieves only message headers.
Um, no, since it's "TOP <msgno> <bodylines>", you can retrieve any number of lines from the message's body.
I don't think clients use it much (if ever).
Fetchmail uses "TOP %d 99999999" to get some obscure pseudo-IMAP behaviour. I don't know about real clients, though. One would think that there should be clients that use it for message-preview (and download-on-demand).
