IMAP is a better solution if you can use it.

This is my personal email - not my corporate email. There is no Exchange server involved, thus IMAP is not an option.
This is a POP email server (mail.comcast.net), and from what I've read there should be no issue with more than one client accessing the messages - so long as they don't delete the messages from the server after fetching them. I don't know about simultaneous access or any potential issue there, but the testing I was doing last night was sequential, possibly a minute or more apart.
