As for being a low volume mail user, I am currently using 10Gb of my 15Gb

can't wait half an hour for IMAP or POP to sync each time I want to read mail.
That should only be an issue the first time. And the only thing that I can see
off-hand with pop3 is if the client is not issuing the server update command
with is QUIT. In other words, your device mail app and/or connectivity is
dropping rather than gracefully closing then session. The explicitly issued
QUIT command is the only way the server to know you successful got your mail
and can begin some backend marking of reception.
