Both POP and IMAP can work offline. Point of data - iOS mail works perfectly when you’re offline and syncs the changes when you get back online. These protocols were designed during the days when data was at a huge premium. Fastmail’s own app seems like a mobile app interface to their website than a real mail client. I have setup iOS Mail to download and keep a copy of last 30 days but use fastmail for most day to day stuff.

As a person with an older device of smaller capacity constantly being reminded by the OS of the small amount of space remaining, I'm quite happy to not have that data cached. That's me though, and we all like different things. Just pointing out that while you might prefer the offline, I prefer not. As a dev, these are the things you flip a coin and know you're going to not please everyone and move on to the next item.
