Horses for courses.

POP is great for retrieving email from a server and storing it locally,
and this is what it was designed for.  It works well even over a slow
link (e.g. dial-up).  IMAP is better for a client-server arrangement on
faster links as it allows you to keep the mail on the server in a folder
structure.
