IMAP works in a slightly different way. There are flags to a message.
When you delete a message from an IMAP folder, the message gets the
flag \Deleted. This usually hides the email from general display in
most clients as they ignore it, or the server just doesn't return it.
However the emails are still there. That is until you run an EXPUNGE
of the folder. To do that, you select the folder, and go to Folder,
Purge+Compress, and it should be done.

Yes and no. The emails are kept in a local cache to save loading on
the server, the emails can quickly be accessed from that. The problem
is, you have to read the emails online first for it to work offline.
So I'd say not really in the way you are probably looking for.

IMAP is a protocol that stores the message on the server. That is the
nature of the protocol.

No.

As RitLabs doesn't seem to have defined an answer on this one yet,
here is what I have observed.
<*> means it is either fetching that folder, or is working with that
folder
<2> means that is has found 2 new messages in that folder since you
last looked at it.
(5) means the children of the folder this is next to has 5 new
messages in total
