For me, Dave Riddles post was right on - with the list it is a passive thing - the mail comes in and it goes to it's own folder that I can choose when to take a look, when to dump them. It's very convenient to let it just sit there and pile up till I get a moment to browse through the subjects and see if there's something that interests me.
I've had this change from list to forum happen to a couple other things and found that over time I stopped going to the web forum. The downside is that I miss some of the incidental items/information that are picked up along the way that someday may be just what I needed. While I'm working in one monitor I keep the mail client in the other and can keep an eye on the activity of the different folders. It's easy to while waiting for something on the main monitor to click over and scan through the subjects of the different lists. A good question to ask is this - are those responsible for initiating the move people that actually use the lists and are Imail administrators - or have more interest in spiffing up the appearance and 'enhancing' the product offering. If it is admins that are behind it, it would be nice if they would speak up with their ideas, because from what I'm reading here the fast majority of admins haven't been able to come up with a good reason.
