I'm switching from PoP to IMAP access to my email for the automatic
"syncing" of mail no matter what client I use, but most of my access
is from Outlook 2007 on my desktop. Instead of developing an
elaborate filing system, I'd like to rely on the much-improved
searching functionality in OL 2007, but it seems that the search will
only find text when the message body (not just the header) has been
downloaded to the .pst file by OL 2007. Is that correct?

Not here - the Outlook 2007 search facility does search in IMAP folders as
well as the pst folders...
