One difference (doesn't appear configurable) is that the mail under IMAP stays on the servers. If I read some mail under evolution, delete it, then boot into W2K and use fire up Outlook, the same mail will transfer over. I know that IMAP was supposed to supersede Pop as a message retrieval protocol.
