When I tried to configure with POP3 with Thunderbird to my Hotmail 
account (I know!) it repeatedly told me my password was incorrect, 
whereas it instantly configured correctly with IMAP. Therefore all my 
comparisons so far have been with IMAP, although extra strain on the 
internet connection (seems caching works reasonably with Thunderbird 
thougg, I just have niggles with interface things.) Also read Alpine and 
others actually work far better with IMAP than with POP...

Also don't know if that was an Hotmail/Outlook server issue or 
Thunderbird not liking POP3 but as long as it can cache within a session 
I can live with it not always keeping an offline version (although in 
some ways I would prefer it did.)
