I find it alot easier to access my admin email by IMAP/POP, personally. Then it 
is available to me 24/7 via my laptop, my cell phone, my desktop and any other 
device I may be working on.  IMAP is particularly useful so I don't have to 
download email.

You don't have to use Dovecot but not everyone wants to read email in a 
terminal session.
