You can't read Thunderbird's IMAP folders in VM, only the Local Folders.
(In fact, you can see from the size of the file that it is not a full folder
anyway.)

The "0" in the size indicator (presumably 0 lines?) tells you that the
message wasn't downloaded.  What happens if you try to read the message 6?

Indeed, that is how it is supposed to work.  It is designed to be painless.

If you delete message 6, expunge and save the folder, then message 6 will
get deleted on the server.
