Most IMAP clients that I've used treat IMAP as a synchronization 
protocol for their local mail store (cache), so I don't think it's 
technically true that no mail is stored locally.  Though the storage 
format does matter less.  I typically exclude the cache from backups, 
and the kind of excessive writes typical of mbox don't matter much when 
an entire disk is used by one user (me) rather than a large office.  So, 
the benefits of maildir are minimized on desktop clients.
