The next version of KMail (version 1.7) will be much faster. I measured 
a speed up of 1350% with 4300 messages on the server. So in your case 
the time should go down from 90 seconds to about 7 seconds (still a bit 
slower than Mozilla).

Until this version is released I can only repeat the suggestion from my 
previous reply:
"For now you should probably use fetchmail to fetch new mail 
from the POP server to a local file and then fetch the mail with KMail 
from the local file."

Regards,
Ingo
