Most email clients have a configuration setting for POP that determines whether messages are deleted from or left on the server after you download them. Before I switched to IMAP, I configured my email client on my desktop to delete my messages from the server after downloading them. I configured all of my other email clients to leave the messages on the server after they were downloaded. In this way, my desktop became my email repository. Some email clients will also let you delete the message from the server if you delete it from the client, so you won't have to process the same message twice.
Other than that minor point, I agree with everything else said about IMAP and POP.
