This means that if you access your account from multiple locations, that may not be the best option for you. On the other hand, if you use POP3, your messages are stored on your local computer, which reduces the space your email account uses on your web server.

You aren't downloading local copies of all your messages; you're using the email client to manage the email stored on the server. The only information stored on your device unless you explicitly download something are cached copies for efficiency.
