IMAP is the future, POP3 is the past. ;)
When you have your email on an IMAP-accessible server, you can access it
with any IMAP-capable client from virtually anywhere. Do you need to
share your email account between your desktop and notebook? No problem.
Would you like to pull up your email on your blackberry? Again, not a
problem (and pretty slick if you ask me).
Get the picture?

Got it.
I was able to set up Thunderbird as an IMAP client and it works
perfectly including the Sent and SPAM folders. Are there advantages to
one over the other?

Yes, but it gets moved to a "Spambox" that can only be accessed via

(Thunderbird) instead of having to access it via webmail to see if
anything of importance has been marked as SPAM and doesn't make it to my
POP3 client.
I understand the scoring and it currently works very well. I don't plan
on modifying anything. I just want to know how it works. It is
currently correct 98% of the time and that's pretty good IMHO.
POP3 does not support folders, so the only way to access the Spam folder
(as well as the Trash folder, Sent folder, etc.) is by using IMAP
(webmail uses IMAP).
