IMO, the only reason to have a mobile skin (with limited features) is contacts and may be calendaring integration. The preferable way to serve mobile devices is to use CalDAV/CardDAV. Almost all mobile devices have fully integrated clients for IMAP/CalDAV/CardDAV. So, is it really necessary to have a (feature limited) web interface? Just me 5 cents.

I agree that the integrated clients will almost always offer a better user experience as they are optimised for the device in question.

The one significant advantage that I can see is that the integrated clients have to be configured to use a given IMAP server, while people can just click on a URL to get the (limited) web interface.

So I can borrow someone else's mobile device to check my mail, if I happen to have left my own at home.
