🐛 Bugreport

The msg_headers function in the POP3 implementation needs the TOP command to receive the headers.
This command is optional (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1939#page-11) and not every POP3 server implements it.
It should be checked if the server supports the TOP command. If not present the RETR command should get the headers.

Version & Environment

Rev: 9363fc988a (current master)

OS: debian 10 with php 7.3

Steps to reproduce

Configure a pop3 server which does not support the TOP command (for example https://github.com/cmail-mta/cmail)
Open Emails ->
Mail list will not load (runs in timeout)
