My POP3 setup is super simple. It's popa3d(8) fronted by relayd(8) for TLS on 
OpenBSD.

My KDE setup is stock Debian Trixie. I've seen some delays and managed to 
cause Kontact errors when manually polling for mail during the interval pull 
of email. I've kind of backed off and have a 5 minute interval set for polling 
email, and I've just stopped polling manually for the most part.

Something else is when there's lots of email. I was away for a couple of weeks 
and used s-nail to read email on the email host. When I returned, there were 
about 1000 emails piled up, and it took 5-10 minutes for the KMail polling to 
occur and the rules to execute.

I haven't done any debugging yet. So far all I can offer is anecdotal remarks.

Best,
