Of course, when the user calls in with a problem with their email, the fact that all the information about that user's email is in their unique mail store is kind of convenient.   If there is a systemic problem with mail delivery, you would need different tools to notice it.   I don't see how one or the other of these approaches is clearly superior; what is true is that the latter approach is what people are used to.
