Yeah TB behaves a lot nicer when you have a 100% complete snapshot of the IMAP account locally; a lot of things in it seem to work a lot faster and more predictably when all the folders are fully synced.
I'd run that 'offline->download/sync' every week or so. It'll automatically sync every folder you open, but running that syncs them all, and if you're an organisation fiend like me you have like 100 folders.
In addition you can take a manual backup of your email now by just zipping up the thunderbird profile folder. Always useful.
