Well, I seem to have tracked down what's going on with Evolution and
Dovecot.
It seems that Evolution has defaulted to checked for spam server side
using Spamd on Fedora Core 3 without downloading the mail. It seems that
spamd is the culprit in all this as it's trying to analyze pop3 mail
without simply downloading all the new mail.
I turned off the spam checking option in evolution and the crawling
(read 5-10 min) email downloads stopped. I guess I should have noticed
that this happened when I upgraded from Fedora Core 2 to 3, but we
upgraded dovecot around the same time.
While it still shouldn't be taking 10 min to download email (1 min a
mail), at least I know what's going on now.
