Yes, bandwidth and speed play a big role. Yes, I could download all emails with fetchmail or mbsync. Yes, I could use an Email server, and I have one running, with sendmail and cyrusimap. But my mail does not go through my server, but through 3 party providers. And I want to use IMAP for what it is on my Desktops, and IMAP is not POP3. I first see the headers, then I decide for what mail I want to read the text, and then for that mail what attachements. I can see the emails on the server with any Desktop computer anywhere. For that is IMAP. The OP wanted a simple solution, and the answers are getting too complicated.
