I'm using IMAP
IMAP can be painful to use over the internet, it really only flies well
over a LAN. Though it can certainly be done.
One thing to check is whether your mailer is
synchronising/caching/downloading all mail. The expected behaviour for
IMAP was to fetch the headers when you check for mail, and only fetch
the bodies for the messages that you select to read. Then, perhaps,
caching those bodies for some time, simply for the convenience of being
able to go back to them quickly, but relying on the message always being
on the server.
The amount of each message's headers that could be downloaded may be
adjusted. You could just get to, from, subject, and date, to provide
*you* with enough information to decide what to do. More extensive
headers can be fetched, for things like the mail program auto-filtering
list mail, spam, etc. Sometimes that makes it take longer to fetch headers.
Some mail programs fetch the entire message, making IMAP almost act like
POP3. Naturally, that's going to take longer to complete.

is no point trying to privately email me, I only get to see the messages
posted to the mailing list.
