IMAP Connection Very Slow - Suggestions ?

One of my email accounts is on Inbox.com

I have a 75 Mb/s. ( ~ 9.375 MB/s ) internet connection and get approximately that on both download and upload.

When I try to download an email with 5 MB of attachment by IMAP on Outlook 2010 or the latest version of Thunderbird, it takes about 25 seconds. So my IMAP download speed is about 0.2 MB/s.

If I use the same programs to access my Fastmail.com account, download is way faster.

I have tried turning off Norton Antivirus and Disabled Antispam plugin for Outlook.

I have updated Outlook with the latest MS Updates.

Is there any way to speed up this download problem?
Inbox.com says they do not throttle.
