Christopher,
Best answer I've ever read. Thank you.
I do not do 'phone/ipad' email, but I get it.
Think I will stay POP3 for now; well untilI can not.
IMAP reads to me as another layer (ISP) to deal with.
Thank you.

If you use the IMAP protocol, the email is stored on your ISP's mail
server. If you use POP then you download then delete. IMAP can cache
stuff locally, but overall all the messages are stored and synced with the
server. This allows you to delete messages from IMAP from your ipad and
have them disappear from your home workstation as well. But you need to
make sure you have enough quota for it.

Christopher,
Can you please expand on your 'Correct'?
OK, I do not trust anInternet Email provider.
OK, I do not trust my local ISP.
I do POP3 emailto my local Thunderbird (on this machine).
When I delete my old emaillocally, I assumemy email is GONE!
Am I being stupid now, and just do not understand email business?

Correct. Imap uses server space. Also depending on mailbox size, speed
might be an issue

Like with any email system, if you don't delete emails they have to

somewhere.
But with IMAP, they reside on the server, right, unlike POP where they
are
downloaded to one's computer?
