They are sometimes used, usually in addition to a port specifier, in order to
express a protocol univocally. For example, here's part of my Mutt configuration
file (the first line forces STARTTLS, hence the omission of `s` in `smtp://`):

        set ssl_force_tls = yes
        set smtp_url = "smtp://a...@mail.suugaku.co.uk:587"
        set folder = "imaps://mail.suugaku.co.uk:993/"
