Yes, I am doing it and understand it is needed to download headers only.  
Mostly it works but breaks when there is many large messages on the 
server. Cannot exactly debug this, but critical size is circa 50 
messages larger than 30-40k. Sometimes with large number of small 
messages (> 100). With small number of messages (below 50) I never get 
this bug (even with large messages). If server really doesn't support 
TOP this error should appear always, doesn't it?

Hmm. On server side? On my side I have size limit 9k to not filter.

Maybe this is something with time-out?
