%I (the UIDL) was intended for use in combination with add_header, so
the original UIDL can be kept with the email (thunderbird does that
adding a X-UIDL: header) I think it may be useful if the uidl file got
corrupted or you are comparing duplicate downloads, although its utility
is the less clear.

%A (account name) is mainly intended for delivery paths, so you can do
> delivery maildir user-emails/%A
on the defaults section, and mail automatically goes to the right
folder. It may also be useful for tagging in combination with
add_header, in case your mda then switches based on the account.
