No resync necessary. Yes, you have to be online (to your IMAP server, *not*
to the Internet, necessarily - you could dial direct to your IMAP server, if
you set it up that way). Your IMAP mail is never gone, as it is always kept
on the server. And the offline IMAP mentioned earlier might negate the need
to be connected to your IMAP server, in order to read mail.
