Jeg har sakset lidt fra

With POP (Post Office Protocol), mail is delivered to a shared
server, and a personal computer user periodically connects to
the server and downloads all of the pending mail to the
"client" machine. Thereafter, all mail processing is local to
the client machine. Think of POP as providing a
store-and-forward service, intended to move mail (on demand)
from an intermediate server (drop point) to a single
destination machine, usually a PC or Mac. Once delivered to the
PC or Mac, the messages are typically deleted from the POP
server.
IMAP is a client-server mail protocol designed to permit
manipulation of remote mailboxes as if they were local. With
IMAP, mail is again delivered to a shared server, but the mail
client machine does not normally copy it all at once and then
delete it from the server. It's more of a client-server model,
where the IMAP client can ask the server for headers, or the
bodies of specified messages, or to search for messages meeting
certain criteria. Messages in the mail repository can be marked
as deleted and subsequently expunged, but they stay on the
repository until the user takes such action.
