Does IMAP create much additional system load vs. POP3?
in fact imap move the load :
in pop, all classment of mail, spam filtering... is done by your computer (the mail client)
in imap, this filtering is done by the server
The question is : where do you want the work to be done ? In the server, just as the mail arrive, hop, in the correct folder... or on your computer ?
in imap you, of course, have the load of mail files inside the server, whereas this load is on the client for pop.
