No!  There is an option under View - "Hide Deleted Messages" for this.
Expunging a 1000 message folder across a slow IMAP connection every time
a message is deleted will kill the responsivness - expunge when you have
finished dealing with the folder.

Settings -> Mail Configuration -> Edit.  There is a reply-to field - is
it broken or didn't you know about it?

I'd prefer this just to disappear when done, actually.  And there should
only every be one of these dialogs - it is trivial to have many at the
moment (press get mail several times)

Hear hear!

The splitter pane can be moved to the bottom of the window so that it is
not visible for now, but I suppose it is still active.
