See http://wiki.dovecot.org/POP3Server "Session locking" for a rationale 
why dovecot defaults to allowing it. Another scenario would be a 
pop3 client at home downloading (leaving mail on the server) while
the actual customer is looking at the mailbox with a pop3 webmail
interface. 

I suppose we would set mail_max_user_connections to 15 for IMAP
(though having to support corporate mailboxes with a potentially 
large number of distinct clients might render this feature moot here
and force us to set it to 30-50) and 2-3 for POP3. 
While at the same time I'll be praying that 1.5 million logins/day 
won't cause the tracking code for this to melt or leak memory. ;)

Christian
