more powerfull hardware?

What's in your mind as solution?

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.
