AFAIK IMAP doesn't download your messages, it just gets the list of messages and you download/get them "on the fly". It's all stored and done in the server.
This has the added advantage that you can check your e-mail on different machines and you will basically have the same stuff available to all. You also save space locally, but you may loose speedines if you have a slow connection to the server. That's the theoretical part of it. I no longer use IMAP, and have always used POP3 with TB, so I don't know how the IMAP support is or how it words on it.
