Or both. I use IMAP on my home server's mail store, and since it's also
running Apache, I have SquirrelMail on there to provide webmail access -
and it uses IMAP to connect to the same mail that my other clients do.
When my users check their mail from someone else's system, all of their
stored mail folders and messages are available, not just the new arrivals.
IMAP rules.
