Allow me, I speak geek.

He said he was experiencing an unexplained increase in internet volume and
traced some of it to the inefficient way that some mail clients use the IMAP
mail protocol whereby they frequently download large volumes of archived
mail to search for message threads that can be combined. A really stupid
feature that makes new mail disappear from your inbox and reappear in an
older mail string as a conversation". He switched to the older and simpler
POP3 protocol and his volume decreased.

In reality though, it probably wont change things dramatically for Chris.
His mail client will fight him all the way, trying to make life more
organized.  I dont know whose stupid idea this is, but they have cost the
entire world countless hours of productivity and endless lost mail.
Nevermind scaling up the requirement for bandwidth.

Alas, there are all kinds of tools weve come to use that gobble bandwidth.
Location services, push notifications, cloud storage, etc. If you elect to
use Apples cloud storage for music you can expect a huge increase since
songs need to be downloaded and buffered over and over. If youre crazy
enough to store video in the cloud your bandwidth requirements increase
geometrically.
