Hi Dan, IMAP is ideal for those of us who need to check email from multiple locations and always need to see previously read email which may have been opened on another remote machine in another location. Mail doesn?t get downloaded to a specific workstation but remains on the server. If I?m not mistaken, Exchange servers would be a typical example (although they can support POP as well).
