AFAIK, POP is not a protocol to read mail (in the sense, as a real
mailbox, with search and editing possibilities), but just to fetch
mail.

But what if you use several machines, so that your local mailspool
can't be read from another machine (assume that a local IMAP server
won't solve the problem either, due to restrictions)? In this case,
fetching the mail and storing it to a remote IMAP mailbox (with the
IMAP protocol) may be the only solution...
