On example for spam control. Suppose a spam attack comes in delivering the same spam to thousands of users. And suppose that my system didn't realise it was a spam until after the spam was delivered. I could delete all email from that host for all users in seconds if I make the sender's host address a key field. You can't block spam retroactively without a database.
It's called 'SEARCH HEADER Received "$host" ON $date' and 'STORE $messages +FLAGS.SILENT (\Deleted)' in the IMAP lingo :)
