pop3 vs imap

[Marcin Jessa]

Hi.

Courier-IMAP or Cyrus will run both imap(s) and pop3(s) for you.
They all work with all of the most popular MTA's like exim, postfix, qmail and others.
Courier has even it's own MTA.
The difference is you can create IMAP dirs on the server and store your email in each of them . 
With pop3 you'd need to do things like that locally.
