Ok, I found out that the first poll is done by account-polld itself, so we don't have this issue. However, I'd still keep the reduced timeout as it will then poll the remaining accounts instantly when the first poll initiated by the ubuntu-push-client is done. Otherwise, it would have to wait for the previous query to be finished and I seriously don't believe that an account will be able to authenticate after that extra 1 minute if it hasn't done previously.
