IMAP vs Pop3

Hi,

Yes I can drag and drop between the Exchange folders and the Linux IMAP
folders.  Works both directions.

Should work yes.

> I want all the emails DLed. I just find it to be slow..

Even the ones you don't read?

Sounds like more of a link speed issue than a protocol one.

> so.. is IMAP the solution??

I think IMAP gives you better control over the mail but not necessarily
faster unless you, as I mentioned before, flag a heap of messages to be
deleted without reading them.
