imap has benefits, but it also brings problems. That really depends on his situation and mostly on his MUAs. imap is an "unversioned protocol". The specs changed but the versions did not. so different MUAs implement different things to talk with different servers.... when you need to restart your MUA to reread your mail, then things aren't as good as they should... that said, I use imap...
