ANother server I've used allowed you to set the connection rate and, if exceeded, would just return a "no new mail" response.
It's been rarely needed. What problem are you actually having? (With this server, it was pretty easy to handle 9000 users at a time checking mail). I do know that when I'm waiting for a message (e.g. a customer says he just sent me a log extract) I *will* hammer on the "check new mail" button. Legitimate use.
