But he may want to access mail from a folder at random, if he uses mozilla (or mutt's IMAP support), when he clicks on the folder the headers get downloaded, when he clicks on an individual message the message gets downloaded. With external programs he either has to sync everything, or manually sync each mailbox before getting mail from it, in either case it is overkill and not transparent.
