POP can be set to leave messages on the server. Think of IMAP like a web based service. Hotmail, for example. You can be on any PC, anywhere and your hotmail is the same. Any changes you make, delete, move, whatever - is how it is wherever you are. IMAP can be a tad slower in my experience. Depends on many factors. I will never go back to POP.
