Is that all there is to it? I already have it set up, so I hope I'd only have 
to deselect "Download all messages for offline use" and then drag the locally 
stored emails to the IMAP Account, which is shown at the top of the folder 
list, attached. Does that create a copy of the local directory structure?

What should I do about backups of the server?
