With a POP3 account, you *can* opt to leave the mail on the server, but you
have to configure your email client to do so.  I'm not so certain if you are
able to access it again from another computer though, I've never tried.  I
could be wrong.  I DO know that I've gotten warnings from BellSouth (now
AT&T) when I had too much mail stored on their server.  I've never had that
from Apple.  My Mobileme account is a 40gig account (5 gig per person) but
you can adjust that as needed.
As far as I'm concerned IMAP is far superior to POP3.  Just my opinion.
