well, that tends to indicate that it's your pop daemon.

no idea.  i don't use mutt with maildir either.

is it just the one customer?    is it possible that it's something at the
customer's end (e.g. their mail client)?

is it fast or slow if you configure mutt to read the Maildir with pop?

dovecot does both pop and imap.

i have no idea whether dovecot will fix the problem or not. i've never
known the courier pop/imap daemons to be slower than others. changing
your pop/imap daemons is a fairly disruptive process, and can be
annoying to users (each one has its own method of keeping track of which
messages have already been read, so changing the pop daemon usually
causes all users to see all their old mail as new)......so, i'd keep
investigating and experimenting until i ran out of ideas before changing
the daemons.
