I agree there should be an option in Qpopper to enforce login-delay. If the clients supports the LOGIN-DELAY tag, then some administrators might choose to advertise but not enforce it. This would prevent users from setting an automatic mail check that was too frequent, but still allow a user who was expecting something important to do manual mail checks more often.
