Thanks for the heads up on Outlook. I can see where it can be resource intensive on the server. I don't have enough clients for it to be an issue at the moment, other than I would have to increase their quota. Only one of my customers has requested it. I am certain the others don't even know it exists.

I personally don't use any MS product and only suggest Firefox, Opera, or Thunderbird. I had been old school up until today. I check it from my home and leave the mail on the server and my office client removes it from the server.

Hey thanks for all your help.  I have a much better understanding of the
setup and the difference between IMAP and POP3.

Using Thunderbird for IMAP was a snap and I can now view all folders on
the  server in my client including the SPAM folder.

Just remember that IMAP doesn't work the same with Outlook; IMAP is annoying in Outlook IMHO. IMAP is also a little more resource intensive. When you're dealing with <50 users it does not matter at all, but if you go beyond that you'll at least need to brush through the IMAP config file on the server.

I personally only use pop3 for accounts where I do not care if the messages are synced or not (my personal email account, my junk one, etc.). For everything else, I run IMAP so it will be the same on my desktop or my laptop. Easier that way.
