As I understand it, IMAP allows you to keep messages on the server,
while the client is essentially just a user-interface.
Yes, you can do that a lot more, you will be able to have "folders" at the
server too, so you can organize your mail instead of having everything in the
inbox.
I don't want my
last umpteen years' email messages remaining up on a server. For one
thing, I'd be concerned about data integrity. For another, there's the
storage requirements and possible associated expense (with an ISP).
I must say I have a bit difficult to understand what you want, first it seems
that you want to store mail at the server and then you don't.
If you want your mail to your homeserver, then fetchmail could be a better
option and use your client programs to access the inbox directly.
