Would be nice if Thunderbird started parallel connections to all pop3 servers on
pressing of "Get mail" button (like Evolution). Good for people who are
disconnected most of the time.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Make many POP3 accounts.
2. Press Get Mail

Actual Results:  
Sequential delay may cause very slow receiving of mail esp. in case of lossy
connection with SSL.

Expected Results:  
Do it in parallel so that receiving mail from many servers would as fast as from
just a single server.

I believe we do that, unless you're filtering the different servers into the
same inbox, in which case we serialize the get new mails so that we won't have
contention over the local store.

Yes, I use Global Inbox :-(.
Is it possible to connect and download mails first and to postpone locking store
to the moment of insertion downloaded content?

no, it's not, with our current mailbox store format.
