I've read a bunch of stuff about how MailMate works, but I'm still confused 
about where all of the emails live.

I have been using email since the early 1990s.  I have used POP3 this entire 
time.  Downloading emails to my computer and deleting them off of the server 
has worked well for me.  I'm also uncomfortable having gigabytes of my life 
stored in the so-called cloud.

My perception of IMAP was always the GMail approach.  People have their entire 
email history on Google's servers and only have access to it when they have an 
internet connection.  Reading a bunch about MailMate makes me think that it 
does not exactly work this way.

If I were to use MailMate, where would my emails reside?  Does it download 
everything off of the server?  Then what?  Does it delete it off of the server? 
 Or does it leave everything still up there?  So basically I have local and 
remote copies that stay in sync?  What if I want to keep the server empty?
