It depends on too many factors e.g.

  • network speed,
  • size of the emails (small text emails or emails with lots of large attachments),
  • what information you want to get (entire email or just most common properties),
  • your mailbox provider,
  • or even your plan (some providers throttle chatty clients).

Consider looking at this article that utilizes IMAP envelope and bodystructure commands to get most common email data fast:
