Hmmm...  This sounds more like a middle-tier app than a client app; my

Another advantage of having a separate, detached fetcher/spooler for incoming
new messages is that it can be turned around backwards and instead of polling
the server periodically, it can be made callable by the server, if clients
registered themselves at startup and listened to some port for notifications.
(Not a workable solution if you're behind a corporate firewall, though.)

the advantage of that being that the spooler isn't being spammed by
the clients to see if there's new msgs, but instead notifies them when
they are...  Also that will make the messages get to the user faster,
since it won't be based on the 1min/5min polling.

I'll try to come up with something, when I have a few mins...
