IMAP Allows multiple devices to access you emails Keeps messages on server
IMAP also allows to preserve some kind of folder structure on the server and synch (upload/download) those folders bi-laterally between client and server including Sent Mail and Drafts.
POP is download only.
But, once it's downloaded, you can do anything you like with it. I keep parallel mbox and (modified) maildir hierarchies. I use mbox with alpine, and maildir for processing individual messages and (theoretically) statistical analysis.
