I suppose it shouldn't be a huge surprise that an IMAP server expects
you to use IMAP.  The backend uses its own files in a manner that is
optimised for running IMAP, which improves performance and load on the
server. 

If you're using dovecot, at least try to avoid using mbox format, due
to how terrible it is for performance.
