You should be on 6.3.4

Provide different interval options:

poll pop.isp1.net user first password firspw interval 1
poll pop.isp2.com user second password secondpw interval 2

That would poll pop.isp1.net every run and pop.isp2.com every second.

Yes, you can though you don't have to.

You would need to either run a daemon as those users or use cron to
schedule the runs.
