Jonathan — you’re right. Setting your mail client up as IMAP rather than as a POP client means that all messages will stay on the email server, and then be copied to all IMAP clients of that account when they connect. I’ve got my Gmail account set up that way on my MacBook Pro, iPhone and iPad, and everything stays synchronized; so it appears to work for Google Mail. I’ve also got several personal and work email accounts set up that way.
With POP, as soon as a client connects, the message is downloaded from the server to that client only; there’s no good way to keep things synchronized.
