Even for local users, if you are running courier-imap, it's nice to have |
| 2 |
local accounts connect to the IMAP server rather than the .maildir or |
| 3 |
mailbox files, because this greatly reduces the probability of locking |
| 4 |
related hastles. |

I used to use mutt directly on a server that had courier-imap running, |
| 7 |
and when Mozilla Thunderbird on my other workstation machine recieved |
| 8 |
mail it reorganized based on filters, causing mutt to freak out that the |
| 9 |
mailbox was being modified externally. Using mutt in imap mode made it |
| 10 |
much more tolerant. |
