My wife and I now understand the advantages of IMAP, but we find that the IMAP model would not work for us. We have three Macs, we each have individual accounts, and we have one joint account for items of mutual interest and family business. On separate computers, we handle some items in that joint POP account differently without interfering with each other's interests. That would not work with IMAP.
