Aehm, yes that's correct. But I can only say that the beta version is
stable enough for me...

I haven't tried this use case but I think it should work although I
even don't use imap.

Sorry, I can't help with this because I'm still using plain old POP3
without any filtering (well I'm using filtering in mew of course)

I haven't seen any documentation other than the mew-info and the elisp

Have a nice weekend,
