How it works (cont'd)

Using the more powerful IMAP e-mail protocol, when you read a new message, a copy is sent to you but the message is retained on the server. Messages that you want to save can easily be organized into multiple ‘folders’ on the server, and from there they can be reread from anywhere. (Some IMAP clients permit you to download all of your messages at once, if you want to minimize your connect time.)
