It's kinda ok.
BUT:
1) webbased logs become available to search-enginges
2) how will one know to search for the imap folder without having to
   ask on the list?
3) well, you'd have to be able to work with imap (settings and stuff)
   (which I am not *blush*)

BUT then again, 
everybody can indeed sort the way they want

more thoughts anyone ??


(nice thinking, Jake)
