You are right. There wouldn't be much point in using a separate mail client just for Org. It would be best to stick to whichever mail client you normally use.
The current org-vm.el interface, apparently written by Carsten Dominik, only works for local folders in VM. (I don't blame him. This was probably written in 2004, when IMAP wasn't used that much by VM users.) I have now added changes to extend it to POP and IMAP folders. They will be part of the next release of VM (v 8.1.1, due to be released pretty soon). Or, you can get it from Launchpad (bzr get lp:vm/8.1.x).
The IMAP folder names will be in the standard VM format:
imap:HOST:PORT:MAILBOX:AUTH:USER:PASSWORD
If people would prefer shorter folder names, I could do some more work on it. But, it probably doesn't matter. The hyperlinks are rarely seen anyway.
