I am afraid we do not block a particular IP from accessing the account if that fails multiple times. Too many failed logins from single IP address is normal because if a user has forgotten his password or incorrectly configure the IMAP client, too many failed logins are usually followed. Normally, if there are too many login attempts to an account from different IP addresses or locations that are suspicious, we would lock out the account itself. The user will have to get in touch with us with verification details in order to get the account unlocked.
Hope that clarifies your questions. Let me know if there is anything else that I can help you with.
