I've considered IMAP, but that means my user can't read their emails 
offline, they travel very often. So?

Even with IMAP, I cannot archive the emails to tape and retrieve them with a 
specific criteria such as within a period, specific messages, etc. I can 
only restore the whole directory back which may overwrite my newer emails, 
right? correct me if I'm wrong, as I'm new to IMAP.
