Interesting - I went the other way. I treat laptops as ephemeral machines (had one stolen from the office so far), so never put valuable stuff only on the laptop itself. Mail lives on a permanently located machine with a good backup regime (the laptop also has a good - in fact paranoid - backup regime), and I imap from there. However I don't in general spend time working away from connectivity so that works for me. If I did work away from the net I would probably use isync - http://isync.sourceforge.net/ - and then make further decisions as to whether to use the maildir directly or as a base for courier imap.
