I want to read my e-mail using the dashboard so that I can triage  
it.   And I want to be able to at least reply, if not send while I am  
reading in the dashboard.   I also want to be able to stick mail in  
(multiiple) collections that are holding areas for project related  
materials.    If I'm just reading my e-mail from Mail.app but  
pointing at the Chandler IMAP service, then it doesn't sound like I"m  
getting the benefits of the dashboard or collections.   In which  
case, I don't need another entire copy of my email on my hard disk  
(Mail.app's being the first)
