I'd  say folder synchronisation should be se to "Full Message" in your
case,  so  you'd get a full copy locally of every message. The message
will  stay  on  the  server anyway, cause IMAP never imply to delete a
message  from the server when it has been downloaded. I didn't used TB
previous  IMAP  implementation,  but  I  suppose  it  wasn't  deleting
messages  on  the IMAP server after getting them that way. Well I hope
so. :)

Right-Click  on  the account and "Manage IMAP Folders". Only Subscribe
to  the  folders  you  want  to  read.  Unsubscribed  folders won't be
displayed in the left tree.

Yes.

Good guess :-)
I hope they will have it functional in Beta/2.
