I disagree. It's still a perfectly good mail protocol for a certain way 
of managing one's mail.

While this may be true, I've had some questionable experiences with 
some IMAP servers that have made me shy away from IMAP and stick to 
POP, which I can at least get to work.

The worst experience was an IMAP server that automatically deleted 
EMail older than a certain (quite short -- about a month) limit, 
regardless of the client settings. The whole point of IMAP is that you 
keep your EMail on the server, so the server should keep it unless and 
until you delete it. The ISP in question seemed to be treating IMAP as 
a sort of POP3 on steroids, and not expecting anyone to actually keep 
mail on the server.

The best solution is to run your own mailserver and collect mail from 
that using whichever of POP and IMAP suits you. At least then you know 
you'll always have all your EMail on the server ... but it's not for 
the fainthearted!

Cheers,
 Daniel.
