IMAP is a standard protocol for accessing e-mail from a local server. Using IMAP an email client program can not only retrieve email but can also manipulate message stored on the server, without having to actually retrieve the messages. So messages can be deleted, have their status changed, multiple mail boxes can be managed, etc.

IMAP allows for clients / users to read only the header information and then decide if they wish to download the whole msg, useful for blackberry's etc where data costs money!

IMAP is basically for when your using multiple computers to check your email.

With POP3, it will download to your computer.. but with IMAP I believe the emails stay on the server.

IMAP is short for Internet Message Access Protocol, and this is precisely what it is for.
When you retrieve your email messages from your ISP's mail server in your email program, the server and your program (the client) probably use the Post Office Protocol (POP) to talk to each other.
Providing a way to get email messages to your computer is what IMAP and POP share. While POP was designed to do merely that, IMAP
does provide more useful functionality.
