It all works, but having to use IMAP to access files that are right there in ~/Mail bugs me. :)
I think it's better to access everything via IMAP whenever possible, because then you gain from Dovecot's indexing and caching. It should work a lot faster than if your MUA reads and parses everything over and over again.
My usual MUA (mutt) manages its own header cache database, and it's quite fast with local files. What slows things down when using IMAP is the TLS startup and authentication. Disabling TSL for localhost would probably help...
