Since the delay only happens once, and not every time, is there a good reason 
why this shouldn't be used on the aktivix personal email too? 

The only time I can imagine this to be a potential problem is when you're 
expecting that "urgent email" from someone - and in that case 90% of the time 
it's from someone who you've already had correspondence with (ie so no 
delay). Add to that the humongous decrease in spam (and time taken to 
manually filter that...)

What do others think? 

all the best

PS humongous was in my kmail spell checker - how's that for weird - i could 
have sworn it was spelt humungous!
