I am experimenting with the view to fully understand how email works and interacts. Bandwidth isn't an issue as the volume is very low as is the number of users. Although I am currently using Oultook, I am looking to use a more basic client which supports IMAP for other users.
Thanks

The part of this that doesn't make sense is that you'll be downloading the entire message over the 56K line, and only then will be able to use IMAP's header-based selective retrieval on your local LAN. In other words, you'll be using much more aggregate bandwidth than if you just got the stuff directly from the ISP over POP3. If you're using a mail client (Outlook) with robust support for local folders and sorting rules, why do you need the server-based folder structure of IMAP? How many nodes'll be getting at the message store for a given user?
