IMAP doesn't just retrieve messages, it can also be used to store
messages.  There are setups out there when outgoing mail is actually
placed in an outgoing folder using IMAP, and then the server either gets
notified or polls the folder and sends the message out.  Likewise, I can
copy messages from one IMAP server (or some other mail store) to another
and so forth.

Additionally, Sieve can have support for letting the MUA directly edit
and update the filters with graphical whatsits so that users don't have
to be computer science majors just to filter messages.

(As a side note, I'm a Dovecot supporter, even though it does miss my
favorite features - Cyrus is just pure hell to get working properly.)
