Here is the code that prints that message:

     else if (config_getswitch(IMAPOPT_STATUSCACHE) &&
              !(r = statuscache_lookup(inboxname, userid, STATUS_MESSAGES, &scdata)) &&
              !scdata.messages) {
         /* local mailbox (empty) -- don't bother opening the mailbox */
         syslog(LOG_INFO, "optimized mode for empty maildrop: %s", popd_userid);

         proc_register("pop3d", popd_clienthost, popd_userid, inboxname);
     }


I suppose you could turn off the statuscache (statuscache:0 in 
imapd.conf).  If you are compiling from src, you could certainly change 
"LOG_INFO" to "LOG_DEBUG" and recompile.
