So, the promise of a large number of POP3 e-mail accounts isn't quite so good in the light of the limits on picking up POP3 mail.
I have had to reduce the interval with which Mailwasher checks accounts. I will have to remove some accounts from the default mail check on Eudora.
Oh well. Something to add to the check list when buying hosting.......

multiple pop3 connections increases size of process list and server performance will degrade if server tries to process more than 200 pop3 connections per second. it should not make much difference if you download new emails every other minute.
I have set 3 minutes auto-check in my outlook so it really makes no difference if you receive new emails 3 minutes late.
