In terms of priority of need, access to mail while on the road has a 
10-20% consideration factor.  Accessing mail on the laptop while on the 
network has a weight of about 80%-90%.  I understand that for accessing 
mail while on the road, and without using a virtual private network, I 
would need IMAP.  However, using my pc as a "server" while on the network 
would satisfy most of my need, for the time being, and that is not an 
insignificant consideration.
