Nope, it is true.  IMAP does everything POP does, just more.  You track
seen-state, messages can [optionally] be partially retrieved saving
enormous amounts of bandwidth, etc... allow moving messages between
folders [IMAP allows folders in the first place].  All the devices can
track the same message state.
