IMAP is **much** better than POP3. Wikipedia is probably the
authoritative source.
Basically, POP will (and I'm sure this is a pun) will "pop" from the
stack of e-mails on the server, and, depending on settings, are generally
then removed from the server.
IMAP is a synch. E-mails are stored server side and then the client
downloads usually a portion of server side e-mails. Several clients can
synch concurrently.
