Firstly, I'm not an enterprise :)
Secondly, POP3 is easily chosen because it's more compatible in general.
There are hardly any MUA:s out there that doesn't support it properly, while
the same is not true for IMAP. I've switched to IMAP because it gives me
more freedom to switch MUAs and access my mail from anywhere with an IMAP
capable client.
Wheather the mail is stored locally or on the server doesn't make much
difference in my cast, except in so far as it affects availability.
