I do not like IMAP; POP is better for my needs.

Things now are working well using getmail to download from POP3 to the
maildir on my computer.  And I have getmail set to mark for deletion
after download.  

As to leaving messages on the server: until a few years ago I was
working in more than one location and thus was using web interface
clients, but when I switched ISP the download (using getmail) to get
the messages from the POP3 server to my machine took a number of
24-hour days.  That was an expensive lesson.  And I am glad to be back
with mutt, as opposed to web interface.

getmail has the ability to use the standard method of encryption for
the transfer.
