Because it doesn't always do a very good job. I do much the same as Ritesh.
And to answer the actual question, Ritesh, the problem seems to be with your

Incoming mail goes to the "new" subdirectory.
btw, Ritesh, you mentioned:

Google is now running a "hosted" email beta. My mail at pointerstop.ca is
actually gmail, and my MX points to google.
