Well, as a matter of being somewhat relaxed about things like this, I would like the users to choose whatever suits them, as opposed to some techie moron (me) making the choice for them. Common sense, right?
Actually, from my experience, a user will do whatever the techie tells them, because they don't really know the difference...I've forcibly moved users on my server to IMAP, and they didn't realize until then how much better it was than POP3....
Some of my users have (and really want to continue) over 10Gb of email. And that is growing. I do prefer these users on POP3, so they are on their own with all that. Just an example...

But users quickly learn to check the box "leave mail on server" and then you will get the angry calls of " I keep getting the same 200 e-mails over and over". Space is cheap, and if you are in a corporate environment, keeping mail on the server makes for easy backups.
