Implemented on master. On the "Advanced" page of the mailbox configuration dialog, the option is "Overlap 
commands", language I adapted from what RFC 2449 mentions as what was used before the PIPELINING capability was defined.

Note that the default is FALSE; if you find that PIPELINING works with your server and not using it degrades 
your POP3 performance, you'll need to explicitly enable it.
