The advantage of a program which simply looks in ~/Maildir is that
it dosn't need the user to either enter or store passwords. They
just run the program and it looks at the files.
Web and IMAP make more sense, IMHO, where the machine dosn't have
access to the relevent files directly (as either ~/Maildir or
X:\Maildir, maildir was designed to cope with NFS, it manages just
as well with SMB/CIFS). e.g. from home...
