Explain

I like IMAP over POP3 in that
  - it retain read status on the server
  - it handles multiple folders

My experience of using POP3 and keeping mail on the server is from time 
to time the client gets confused and refetches all the mail. So you get 
everying twice and new copies are unread. And you then accidently delete 
mail that is genuinely new.

POP3 is a TLPONA not a FLA :-)
