If you use POP3 (post office protocol 3) then what happens is that the client or device contacts the mailbox and then downloads the contents of the Inbox to their local storage. The mail then will only exist on that local storage and would not be available to download via another client or device.

If you use IMAP (internet message access protocol) with a client or device they will simply connect to the mailbox and display the full mailbox to you without actually downloading the content to local storage. This has the benefit of allowing you to manage your mailbox from multiple clients and devices and seeing the same content.
