I use POP3 to collect email from my mailboxes and store it locally in my mail folders. That way all my email is here, and I can use what I like. >And what are some pros and cons switching to IMAP? Mostly that your email is effectively in the cloud (even if you run the server yourself) and accessible from multiple readers and locations (eg from your phone, from your laptop, from your desktop). Downside is that either your mail reader needs to maintain a local cache (most do anyway, if just for performance) or you can't read email when offline (eg on a train). >And what program do you use on Fedora for your email? I read my email with mutt (a terminal based mail reader). It can talk directly to POP3 or IMAP if you want to leave your email upstream, but I use it locally on my laptop. I'm on MacOS right now, but did the same on Linux when that was my desktop. And on Solaris etc etc before that.
