Already fixed on the trunk (bug 180516). Reporter, can you try a newer build ? *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 180516 ***

I checked the dup, and the descriptions and traffic don't seem to point to the same issues. I am downloading mail, not sending it, and attachments are usually not present in downloaded mail. In messages where an attachment is present, the problem might actually be worse, but the problem is present regardless of the presence of an attachment to the email message (this is verified by watching the progress indicators). Reverting to 1.1 resolved the problem.

David, your scenario refers to downloading pop msgs, the dup bug scenario was senidng msg with large attachments. This could possibly be related, if possible, please take the latest nightly build, try this again and report back if it fixed your problem. If it did not fix your problem, please give the build identifier of the latest build and reopen this with a comment on your retest. Thanks

David, fyi... another bug that was marked a dup of 180516 is 182080. 182080 scenario sounds more like your scenairo.

Reading of bug 182080 does seem to show that the three bugs, 180516, 182080, and 184515 are all duplicates.
