If you want it to be the only copy and not sync with anything
POP3 is line–based too, anyway. Maybe you can rsync your maildir?

I just read it mainly in one place and through the web interface when I have to.
There will, because my client doesn't delete the messages from the server when it downloads them.
POP3 is more for reading and acting on your email in one place (taking notes, plan actions, discard and delete,…). No need to consume them on other devices as you’ve already extracted the important bits.
I use imap on my mobile device, but that’s mostly for recent emails until I get to my computer. Then it’s downloaded and deleted from the server.
Any decade now and we'll be ready for JMAP.
