Sure, but POP doesn't give us any way to do that. I don't know exactly
what might have changed to make things slower for you, but I'm guessing
that it involves having fixed bugs for people with other POP servers or
slightly different POP usage models from you.

POP wasn't designed with "leave on server" in mind, so it's never going
to work perfectly for everyone. If you want to leave your mail on the
server, you should really find a provider who lets you use IMAP.
