If you're running qmail-popup under tcpserver, you need to use the -R
(and probably -H) switches to turn off some checking that often
results in delays.
If you're running something else, perhaps this isn't the solution;
more information on your configuration would have helped us guess
what's wrong, and no doubt some people didn't venture an answer since
we have to guess your configuration to speculate about what might be
wrong with it.
Ideally, showing us the line that runs your pop client would have let
us answer in terms of exactly what you're actually running. For
example, here's the run file from my service directory for pop:
exec env - PATH="/var/qmail/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin" \
tcpserver -H -R 0 pop3 \
qmail-popup gw.dd-b.net \
checkvpw qmail-pop3d Maildir/
(I'm using vmailmgr, hence the checkvpw).
