I think its most useful thing would be the ability to encapsulate any
storage format inside a subfolder/subdirectory, e.g. being able to
include an mbox inside of a maildir++ hierarchy.  I don't remember if
IMAPdir supports that, exactly, and I'm too occupied (er, lazy) to go
look it up right now, but my impression was that that would be one of
its strong points if it did.
