IMAP works better than POP for your users' purposes, why would you not
want them to have access to that service?
mail server". That implies bigger quota than in pop3. On a pop3 server you can
have a big inbox at about 20Mb, but on imap this is small box...
For example, my work imap inbox + folders are about 1.5G, personnal is splited on
archive imap mailbox = 4G (about 5 years of emails) and current inbox (about 2G)....
Pop3 "allow" user to remove the mail from server, so for ISP the cost in storage
is less important than IMAP. Our customer pay for IMAP service, mostly because
it take more space than pop3...
