on a setup with lots of roaming users, the following happens frequently:

10 minutes is a very long time to wait to be able to access mail again. Is there a specific reason, why this minimum is that high?
RFC 1939 Section 3 (last paragraph). As far as the server is concerned, the client is still connected, so the autologout timer is stillin effect.
Urgs. Okay, I see... Better do not use POP3...
Unless we kind find a way to have pop3d detect when the client has disappeared.
