Yeah - I agree.  I suffered one myself.  I changed my personal email account
over to IMAP from POP on my PowerBook and then a few months later set up my
mobile phone (SE P900) to check my personal email account using IMAP also.
However, one day I unthinkingly decided to delete all of the hundreds of
emails clogging up my phone only to find they had also been deleted from my
Laptop (3 or more months worth - Aaaaaaah!).  Needless to say, I'm back on
pop for my personal email again.
(My work email is Exchange and my other personal accounts were still on POP
so they were all fortunately unaffected)

I prefer to download everything using POP in one blast and then be able to
read it all offline afterwards so POP is really better for me anyway.
