Why do you all like the imap web email clients? Because when you're on travel, your mail is inaccessible on those PCs, whether at work or at home. With IMAP you can leave mail on server, organize it into folders, search it, etc. Sure, it the server has to pay for disk, but in a corporate setting, one would pay for disk whether it's on a server or a desktop. A server, hopefully, would be backed up so you should lose mail if you lose a system.
