It does it very well. ;-)

Or - to be more technical - it doesn't know or care if you are
logged-in and receiving. It has no connection to the POP or IMAP
daemons, save that of shared storage in the file system.

There can be file system contention with mbox format, but you
are not likely to notice it.

Maildir format storage is generally not a problem - we run
cross-box test traffic with Exim and Dovecot IMAP in Maildirs
with well under 1 second transit and virtually 'immediate'
retrieval.

The Exim logs often show '0s' for both queue and delivery times,
even with a fully PostgreSQL all-virtual installation.

If you want something to worry about, make sure that you have
both a fixed-IP and a proper DNS entry, PTR record especially.

HTH,
