Then we set up .username.qpopper-options files in our spool directory

And can I add
set fast-update = true
on a per user basis?
Yes, you can set fast-update on a per-user basis.
By the way, you can go either way: make the default to have these
options off, and turn them on for individual users, or, make the
default on, and turn them off for specific users. The latter might
be less work if it only affects a small number of users. You can
also put those users with shell access into their own group, and
disable server mode for users in that group. Then you can make
server mode and fast-update globally on.
Also, if I ./configure with --enable-cache-dir (which, I think I
don't need to write as --enable-cachedir=/var/mail because of the
default - is that right?) then will it only come into play for
users in server mode?
You don't need to use this unless you want to change the cache
directory or cache name (and even then you could use the
configuration file to change it at run time).
The default is to use cache files when in server mode.
By the way, you may want to change the cache directory in order to
put them on a different disk.
