Cone and mbox

I have been reading through the cone documentation on the website, and 
I really like the look of the program. I have a couple questions about 
the way in which cone handles mbox mailboxes.

When it says that cone "copies all existing mail from the system 
mailbox file to $HOME/Inbox", does this mean that it leaves all the 
mail in the system mbox and just makes a copy of it -- or does it 
remove the messages from the system mailbox and make a copy of it in 
$HOME/Inbox? If cone only copies and never moves/removes any messages 
 from the system mailbox, I guess the system mailbox has to be managed 
seperately so that it doesn't grow out of control?

Also, with this way of copying the mbox to $HOME/Inbox and then working 
on it as it needs, does cone eliminate some of the issues with mbox 
locking when both the MTA and MUA want access to the file? For example, 
since cone copies the mbox to the user's home folder, does that leave 
the system mbox free for mail delivery from the MTA even while cone 
might be viewing or composing a message?

A couple other questions:

If you do not define a special folder for sent mail when using local 
mbox or maildir accounts, will cone just skip the saving of sent 
messages and not keep a record of these anywhere?

Where does cone save the backup copy of an interrupted compose message?

Thank you.
