What client are you using? I've found Outlook to be a huge bottleneck compared to Tbird.

I'm using KMail 1.9.5. Indeed, with Tbird, the download is faster with KMail. Any idea what could be the problem? I don't think this is a "bug" in KMail; maybe a configuration issue?

Hi!

I'm using rc10, but had this problem with previous releases too. Not sure if this is a dovecot problem, but I can not think of anything else. The mail downloading with pop3 is ~very slow, approx. 20 Kbyte / sec. no matter how many mails I've got in my mailbox, or how big are the mails. My ISP provides me a dedicated 100mbit line, and everything else works as fast as expected eg. http, ftp, scp... The OS is OpenBSD 3.9-stable and the system is not under heavy load at all. I've tried to turn off TLS but there was no change.

Is the pop3 protocol this slow by design or there is something wrong with my setup?

Thanks!

Daniel
