My boss logs in from several computers, including a laptop he takes 
everywhere. I got tired of keeping all his POP3 mail stores in sync using 
scripts, so I switched him to IMAP, and set Mozilla on his clients to keep 
local mirrors (particularly important for detached work). The wire-level 
work is about the same, but I don't have to maintain a bunch of scripts 
anymore.

It's our server, not an ISP's, so we don't have to worry about size 
constraints. (And this is also an argument for allowing savvy users to 
operate servers at home, to provide high-volume mail storage accessible 
from anywhere in the world.)
