There are lots of reasons why this is, IMO, a less desirable solution, mostly centering around the basic notion that, if the mail is on your machine, you can access and filter it however you want instead of being tied to whatever piece of drek interface the mail service provider gives you. In this particular case, I suspect (based on the "when connected to the internet" comment above) that mdevin is on a dialup link and doesn't want to have to bring the link up and tie up a phone line while reading mail over that slow link. -- That's not gibberish...
