[maemo-users] Checking email takes minutes

[From: Henrik Frisk]

Hi all,

On my N900, since a few weeks checking email on my POP3 account takes
forever, regardless of the type of connection I'm currently using.
Mostly, it fails a downloading new messages. I first thought it might
be that I had to upgrade the firmware, but after flashing the device,
the issue is still the same. I do have quite a few emails sitting in
my inbox (27.8 MB), could this be the problem? I've tried to empty the
inbox but doing a select all (Ctrl-A) and then remove doesn't in fact
remove any messages, although removing single messages works (is there
another way to empty the inbox? From the command line?). Perhaps
needless to say, I can check email as ususal with my other clients. I
even access my email account's webmail interface from my N900 without
problems.

Any suggestions?
