Sorry for the late reply (I'm travelling) but I didn't want to let this 
go by without comment. My experience is that IMAP works extremely well 
most of the time (at least as well as POP). I use 2 IMAP servers, Gmail 
and Cyrus, and several clients including Evo, Mail.app (MacOS) and 
Tbird, and (apart from occasional disconnections from Gmail) the only 
difficulties I sometimes see are with configuring message deletion 
properly, since not all clients present the IMAP model clearly to the 
user -- the physical Trash folder seems to be part of the culture now. 
Aside from that, everything just works and the advantages of having 
access to all my mail from anywhere greatly outweigh the minor 
inconveniences.
