You don't *have* to, but you can. And if you want to use IMAP, well,
it's a bit pointless not to... Like you say, if you donwload emails
with fetchmail from the IMAP server, then it's no different from POP.
So the idea with IMAP is in the remote browsing.

Yes.
Although there's some tricks in the browsing apparently, when changing
from remote to local or vice versa. Just my observations from following
discussions on mutt-users, I don't use IMAP myself.
