Spaniards only use the "escaso" aception of "poco". We never use the
other. Maybe couse we use any of the many synonims spanish language
has.
Examples of use of "poco"
Tengo poco dinero. - I have few money. (Literal, not ironical)
Estoy un poco nervioso. - I am a bit nervous.
In very few situations (en pocas situaciones), "poco" means "quite".
Maybe pocomail authors wanted to mean "smallmail" but I think
they've choosen a very bad word. In this context, in "poco mail" I
read "a very lited email client"
