This is by design. From params.h:
/*
* Introduce some sane limits on the mailbox size in order to prevent
* a single huge mailbox from stopping the entire POP service.
*/
#define MAX_MAILBOX_MESSAGES 100000
#define MAX_MAILBOX_BYTES 100000000
Change those defines if you want to increase the limit. Try not to set
it too high, though. It's there for a reason.
