Another problem no one has mentioned is the effect of login-delay on
"Webmail" users. The POP3 Web-based clients I've seen (not including
Java applets) tend to make a *lot* of connections to the POP3 server
in a short period of time.
I know, Webmail is a "use IMAP not POP3" case. Unfortunately, there
are a great many Web-based POP3 clients out there, and if Qpopper is
to have such a feature, it will need to deal with them gracefully.
