Look, if We were speaking about SMTP, I could say You that XMail is about 60%
faster than sendmail.
But We're speaking about POP3 that is a kind of stupid protocol where there's
nothing to be fast.
If You've tried with the same line conditions, and I think so, I could bet my
brand new car that :
1) You've another POP3 connection open onto the same account
2) Your web mail client try to open multiple connections with the same account
XMail support, and force ( see pop3locks ), one simultaneous connection per
account and what's happening is that before open the new connection it has to
wait that the old one timed out.
Someone else had this kind of problem ?
