True enough! :-)
However I'll explain a bit more.
I read the bulk of my mail using mutt via ssh on a remote system where
I have a shell login account. I use ssh to connect to this system
from work, home, etc. I get many of the advantages of an IMAP system
by working this way.
The requirement for a GUI client that can use the same mailboxes as
mutt is for mail that I actually send to a different E-Mail address
for collection on my home machine and reading there. This is mostly
reminders to myself to do things and/or mails with attachments that I
actually want on my home desktop machine. I want a GUI MUA because
sometimes the attachments are pictures, HTML, etc. that I want to look
at quickly and easily. Yes, I know it can be done with mutt but it's
simpler with a GUI.
