Clearly you don't access your email from more than one machine ? If  
you did, then downloading your mail to that machine (i.e. using the  
POP protocol) is extremely inconvenient, as once an email is  
downloaded it can only be read on that machine.

Leaving your email on the server (i.e. imap) is the solution in this  
case, as then the same mail is available everywhere. CHanges you make  
in one place are automatically sync'ed with the server and thus  
available everywhere.

Personally, I use IMAP for this very reason. I access my email from  
many different locations and machines. I don't mind getting the odd  
html email from family and friends, and the odd work contact. But if  
everyone on a high usage mailing list, like ubuntu, used html email it  
would significantly increase the size of my mail folders. This is why  
html is generally banned on most mailing lists.
