Odd, one might suggest using logs files for this information. That said, there ARE times when I am waiting for a message (ie, I just sent a test message) and I beat on the "check mail" button. T'would be nice to make it more subtle and look for users who have "check mail every [< 120] seconds" (24 hrs/day) get punished. Folks who are regular misusers rather than folks who are waiting for something.
