Yes.

I am for a block of 1 or more emails.

my doubts:

1) the retrieving of mails should start soon after the open or after a comand
( which command)?

2) now i bufferize all mail on servers (no /direct mode), can it be a big
problem?

> give full control, allowing to preview mail headers using TOP,

I use a mode "TOP" or "RETR"

 open: pop-async://blablabla/top/5

it can be changed after open with:

insert port "top 5"
insert port "retr"

> I presume you will call it async-pop:// ?

or pop-async:// ??
