The old version would have had to do LIST, of some sort. Perhaps it did UIDL as its list command, is that any faster?
If UIDL isn't supported we do a LIST + HEAD to get the headers, which is much slower than just UIDL or just LIST. There's a known issue that many buggy pop servers support UIDL even though they say they dont, or at least, they dont say they do, which they're supposed to. CAMEL_VERBOSE_DEBUG=1 evolution-mail will dump the protocol exchanges.
