GPGrelay is too slow

Hi!
Sending huge mails is currently a big problem with GPGrelay
(due to the possible timeouts while your client is waiting for
the ACK from the server), so this really needs some redesign.
The only workaround for this is to encrypt by hand and send
with passthrough.
But receiving from POP3 is no big deal: There is a solution for
unwanted timeouts when receiving:
Just look at the "Global Controls", there is a nice little slider
entitled "X-Keep-Alive" to tweak for your needs.
I don't know Incredimail in detail, but I guess it'll allow you to
set a timeout-value too. You need to set the X-Keep-Alive-
Interval below the timeout of your email-client.
So one thing left: IMAP. Well, I don't know much about it,
sorry, and I'm still searching for someone willing to spend
some time working on it, as there is currently no IMAP-
Maintainer (and no, I don't have that much time to do it
myself...).
Bye!

X-Keep-Alive does not seem to work here when receiving large
Emails (via POP). (Mozilla Thunderbird 1.0.2)
As a workarond I download the Message encrypted and decrypt
ist locally via Enigmail.

Hi!
Really?
Did you try all Keep-Alive-Options?
E.g. "Full Lines" (as some clients measure the timeout by
the lapse between received lines instead of received chars)
and maybe the slider to a higher rate (say ever 15 Seconds)?
Keep-Alive is just some data (actually useless data) to be
transferred to the client so it doesn't think the connection is
timed out.
Unfortunately the keep-alive-trick isn't available for SMTP, and
for IMAP it's currently not implemented (but you said you're
using POP3...)
Bye!
