Just picking this post to throw in another argument for POP you  guys
may not be aware of: Slow internet connection.

I just came back from a province in Northern Thailand where my only
access to the internet was GPRS (not even EDGE). So, I set TB! to
download messages, and went to have breakfast. After that, all
messages where on the computer, I could read and reply.

With IMAP, only the headers would be downloaded. For each message and
especially their attachments, I would have to download while waiting
in front of the computer.

Argument in favour of IMAP: I use IMAP on my iPhone. So I download
only the headers when I'm travelling, reducing international roaming
charges. If there is a message I need to read, I open that one only.

However, this is not useful at my PCs, as I need to download all
messages an attachments anyway.

Thomas.
