No, this happens with even just one small test message in my spool and
nothing in inbox. I also tried it with "local delivery" instead of pop.
There's a big file called mbox.ibex. What is that? I tried renaming it
to xxx.mbox.ibex.xxx but it didn't help, and the timestamp on it still
gets updated after mail retrieval even with it's new name. Should I
delete it? Also the CPU goes to 90+ % during the retrieval time.
