This gets weird in the concept of IMAP servers. The "official" copy of the
mail is the on the server.  IMAP clients will display the e-mail but they
typically won't "fetch" it the way you're thinking (i.e. copied to the
local machine.)

I frequently use a web client (I am now), when away from home, at home a
dedicated e-mail client, and traveling my iphone. None of them "fetches"
mail.

Even with IMAP's disconnected mode where a copy is made of the message
locally, the server version remains and is the official version. When the
server is available the IMAP client will refer the server one over the
local.
