Well, besides not being browser-based as far as I can tell, without
integration with the IMAP server those emails in multiple directories
won't show up in multiple directories when accessed from any other
client.  What I like about Gmail is that I can operate from the
browser, but still have access to my mail via IMAP if I need it, and
of course it has a really nice Android offline client (and an offline
html5 client as well).  These days IMAP clients on Android are
probably a lot better, so the android client isn't as important as it
used to be most likely, but I'd still like contacts to be in-sync
across all browser and android clients (which isn't something IMAP
alone can deliver).
