You might have been joking but that's exactly what I do. I've forgotten
who I stole the original from but heres the canned text that I send 'em.
Sorry to pester you but in our logs I see that you logon to check your
e-mail more frequently than every five minutes which generates hundreds
of extra log file lines each day and makes it harder to read the logs
when we are trying to research a problem.
Logging in so often also causes the server to work a little harder than
it needs to degrading service for everyone else on the server. If
everyone did it, it would be pretty noticeable.
Even assuming you got an e-mail every minute you wouldn't have time to
read it and respond before the next check would be downloading more. It
would make our work easier and the server run much more efficiently if
you would please logon every 5 minutes at a minimum and 10 or more would
be way better yet.
