It is a tree, really. Each node can have siblings and children. 
balsa_app.mailbox_nodes is the root.

This is again a tree. And yes, it is GUI representation.

src/save-restore.c loads mailbox_nodes from the disk. it provides also
functions to save mailboxes when they are changed.

Not to my knowledge. I guess the reason is that the internal structure
changes frequently. Personally, I prefer clean, self-descriptive code (I
don't claim balsa is one): External documentation tends to be out of
date (solutions like javadoc are the ones to go for, IMHO).
