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.
