I object : from observation of about a hundred users (20% power users / 80% peons) I can say that most of them have their client configured to check mail about once every one to fifteen minutes. Such short times between POP or IMAP sessions may seem abusive, but that's the actual practice. And visual checking of the inbox by the user is quasi-permanent for about two third of the users : their desktop actually revolves around their MUA (Outlook in 90% of the cases, sadly).
