    I think you should say this is not about IMAP and POP3 in general, 
it is these in the context of Gmail. Both work fine in general, but 
Gmail has problems with IMAP for reasons I am not aware of. IMAP is far 
more complex than POP3, so that might be the problem on Gmail. Or, there 
are more people using Gmail and it gets overloaded.
