Cache computed on-the-wire message sizes in the similar way IMAP UIDs are currently saved.Although it is possible to optimize the POP3 server for huge mailboxes, I'm reluctant to do so, because it's going to be a pain in the neck, and I still believe that IMAP is the appropriate solution here.It's probably the most appropriate - but in an ISP environment it's hard to stop people (ab)using POP3 in this way.Which optimisations were you thinking of?
STAT also returns the sizes of the individual messages.But AFAICS, RFC1939 does not actually define "the size of the maildrop" to be equal to the sum of the message sizes calculated individually :-) So you might be able to get away with an estimate based on the file size.
