v1.1 has now:

#mail_max_user_connections = 10
Is 10 a good default?
I'm assuming this is per IP?
No. I'm not sure if it should. Perhaps. It's mostly intended to prevent
unintentional abuse by stupid clients, so having 3+ thunderbirds open in
different locations with each having 5 connections should probably be
allowed.
Ok - you said 10 was the default - but then said that 15 (3 TBirds x 5)
connections should be allowed, which is more than 10... so... you just
meant that one could accommodate that by upping this limit to 15?
I like 15. That way it is high and isn't as likely to affect
existing installations unless they manually set it to something
lower. Or if you want to have a separate default for POP vs IMAP,
I'd use 5 for POP and 15 for IMAP.
Do concurrent sessions for POP3 really ever make sense?
