From the doc:
Note: The POP3 support is there only for convenience, and it's rather
limited. If you need more functionality you should consider using a
specialized program, such as fetchmail.
If you are using an external (eg ISP) pop account then you should probably be
using fetchmail which has an option to limit the size of message. If you are
receiving your messages directly and are concerned with hd space you can junk
them with procmail (or exim filters :P).
Thats why unix is better imho than other os like win: there is not one big app
but many small apps which are working together. This makes it much more
customizeables, and also easier to upgrade. Some people like the win
philosophy of having one do-it-all program, this is a matter of taste. True,
those will maybe regret OE...
