Ok. If you open a mail with a 10MB attachment, it'll only download the
mail part, until you try and open the attachment ?
Anyway, with IMAP, you can leave the IMAP port open to the world, and
check your company/college mail from home, if you are brave enough, and
still have server-side folders, which POP doesn't give you.
