just try imap - you won't loose anything :)

as fernando already said, you will have to use smtp for sending mails as 
usual.
the advantage of imap is to be able to access your emails from anywhere.
downside is: you will have less space at the server of your isp than you have 
on your local storage.
this is the reason why I use 2 imap servers: the one from my isp which keeps 
everything I need to access from everywhere, my local courier imap server 
where I keep everything else.
