I don't know much about the protocol itself, but the end result from a
user's perspective is essentially server-side vs. client-side storage. 
I know that both can be used for both purposes, but from what I've seen
IMAP is far more effective than POP3 at storing mail and synchronizing
to one or more clients for the same inbox.
