If a site doesn't want users to leave mail on the server, disabling
UIDL is a pretty crude way of doing it.  It also makes it harder for
clients to properly download and delete mail in the case of an aborted
session.

That said, I don't have strong feelings either way on per-user UIDL and
LOGIN-DELAY.
