I'm asked because in the past that in particular gave us many problems 
(we are using cyrus murder) with many 'frontends are not in sync with 
master'.

we workarounded it mupdate-enabling our webmail (ie, our webmail ask 
mupdate master 'where is this account?' and then logs directly in the 
backend), so our frontends are actually doing only pop3 amd lmtp.

The multi-thread assyncronous code of mupdate master handles the load 
without missing a beat.
