If you are going to be reading your email from many difference places, then
imap wins hands done. That's what it is designed for. To used SMTP and then
have to physically login to your mail machine and run your mail reader there
is plain inconvenient. MUCH better to run imap and then run your email reader
from where you are..

depends what you mean by "like evolution" if you mean rubbish like evolution I
might agree (although I must confess I haven't run evolution for a time now).
On the other hand mail readers like kmail and thunderbird, which I do use a
lot have great thread and mail sorting abilities, for both smtp and imap
mail, so I would very much disagree. I'm replying to this thread in a well
sorted threaded imap list in kmail...
