>What I don't know is when this occurs on a typical Imail system.
I guess the user table is accessed at this points, at least:
SMTP AUTH (sending mail)
POP3 login (reading mail)
web msging login
>How often is the database actually used if there are webmail-users only.
I cannot imagine why the web msging process spawned for a given login
would go the user table more than the first time.

It depends on how many users are asking for authentification at any
one time, and that includes not only web msgsing, but also users
doing SMTP AUTH and POP3 authentification.
For 10's or 100's of simultaneous web msging users, the top problem
is not login but elsewhere.
