I've been working on the Offline support in 1.1. The way it works is you can specify which folders will get synchronized when you go offline, and Evolution will copy the unread messages from those folders to disk so that you can read them. Messages that you've already viewed will also be available. When you go back online, whatever changes you've made will be synchronized with the server. Evolution's IMAP support tends to be on the slow side but it's pretty feature-complete. IMAP also has the advantage of having different folders on the server, and if you can access the server you can access all of your mail. (or: IMAP is for keeping mail on the server, POP is for downloading mail to your computer.) As Brian said, if your ISP supports IMAP, the easiest thing to do is create an IMAP account and see how it works out for you. Unless you start moving messages around, you'll basically be able to switch back to POP if you don't like it.
