Kontact Windows 2009-02-20 - KMail "account types"

in KMail when adding an account an option dialog box that
looks like this is displayed:

--
Add Account - Kontact
-
 o Local Mailbox
 o POP3
 o IMAP
 o Disconnected IMAP
 o Maildir mailbox
--


these options don't really go together in my mind.  for
example, POP3 is a method for retrieving mail from a host.
Maildir on the other hand is a mail storage format.

i would think that i should be able to select either a POP3
or IMAP retrieval method _combined_ with either an mbox or
Maildir storage format.

can someone please explain the thinking behind this 'Add
Account' dialog box to me?


thanks,
david
