This limit is defined in the source of popa3d.

ulf@deb10-p330:~/popa3d$ grep -r "#define MAX_MAILBOX_OPEN_BYTES" *
debian/README.Debian:#define MAX_MAILBOX_OPEN_BYTES          200000000
popa3d-1.0.3/params.h:#define MAX_MAILBOX_OPEN_BYTES           2147483647

I guess you have to recompile the package to change this.
But please consult README.Debian before.

Or (in my opinion the better solution) swicth to dovecot.
