 From where? If you have static/dynamic IP that is visible in Internet, you 
can login or use some web based mail client. If you're talking about Console 
Client vs. X Client, then yes. With IMAP you don't download anything. You 
just (not you, The Client;-) query server for data. He fetch it and serves to 
you. If you'll read something at console, when you'll go to the X, your mail 
will be still there, marked as read. ;-)

 Why not? You can configure fetchmail to fetch e-mails from POP3 server around 
into your box, and those e-mails will be served by your IMAP. But you can 
still add another account to Thunderbird and use it in ,,old way''.
