You mean something like "one login per 5 minutes"? Why do you want it?
There's no existing way to do it, but you could probably do it with http://wiki.dovecot.org/PostLoginScripting .
You mean something like "one login per 5 minutes"? Why do you want it? yes, this is exactly what i want. have a user who seems to go crazy, lots of logins with differnet usernames within seconds. i could limit him by iptables, but this has only effect for short time...

They're successful logins?

Perhaps just make it do a "sleep 30" or something if the previous
login was too close.
