I can’t speak to the IMAP-*v*-POP3 debate, but I would really love the ability to export a series of messages as a .mbox file in the same format that Apple Mail does.

In addition to using SpamSieve on my Mac (which is quite good), I maintain my own mail server (Mac OS X 10.6.8, until I am forced to “upgrade”) and use SpamAssassin there to try to intercept as much crud as possible *before* it gets to SpamSieve. Apple Mail produces the perfect .mbox files for feeding to SpamAssassin’s spam-learning routines, so periodically I have to haul Mail out, select all the junk that SpamAssassin needs to learn how to intercept, and File > Save As… (raw source) to a file that I can then drag to the server and run learnspam against.
