But doesn't IMAP have more traffic involved than POP3?  I mean each

        you can check mail at the office, from home, from the insecure
        hotel, from the insecure internet cafe, from the insecure kinkos
        and you will only see "new" emails for you to check and/or save
I personally only use IMAP and have been encouraging others to use it 
as well.  But ALAS, people don't understand.

However, with IMAP you can synchronize so the messages are on your 
computer.  Otherwise, it would be worthless.

I don't think everyone is fully appreciating the problem.  These are 
ships at sea.  The connection is often in flux.   POP3 seems to not be 
the answer at all.  But I was hoping maybe the way POP3 worked might 
depend on client programs.

Thanks for the input everyone.
