I don't understand what the difference is, other than you can do a  
reverse lookup to see all the folders/tags related a message without  
running a search. With IMAP I can put the same message into all sorts  
of folders with an client, and a well-implemented IMAP server will  
even hard-link those messages for me, to avoid making copies (not that  
it matters much, as IMAP messages are immutable).

I've only ever played with gmail for a little bit, bit it looks just  
like folders to me. What am I missing?
