I have been a big detractor for any usefulness for this kind of thing, 
but there is one use that would be a big plus...

For the 'Copy to Sent' function... if you sent a message somehow using 
the IMAP connection, maybe you could save the Client having to upload 
the same message AGAIN just to copy it to the Sent folder (think 10MB 
email sent over a 512Kb connection)...
