This will answer all your questions:

Personally I don't use the web interface- I detest web mail. I prefer to
download my emails from my various online accounts via pop3 with
fetchmail. They are then feed to procmail for splitting (a hand crafted
.promailrc which include a dynamic procmail config file generated by
niko-bbdb-split.el[1] and with spamassasin integration). The emails are
put into the various folders via dovecot's dovecot-lda command in a
maildir hierarchy. I can then read my email from anywhere by connecting
to my home dovecot server via imaps.
