As I don´t know anything about the POP3 / IMAP protocols in detail, it might be technically impossible, but here we go: It would be nice if KMail could first check the size of all emails that are about to be downloaded and then download the small ones first. From time to time a big email blocks all other relatively small emails from being downloaded and the user has to wait.
