Tb already has button for "Refresh folder from scratch". It's called
"Repair Folder" button :-)

Contact, Tags, and Attachment?

You are right. 
There is no way to intentionally close mail folder in Tb.There is no way to 
force de-select of Mbox at a connection.
There is no way to force "uid fetch 1:* Flags" to recover from this bug by 
simple/easy operation.
Purpose of any workaround stated in this bug is  : force "uid fetch 1:* Flags" 
for Inbox.
    Go Offline/Go Online : Force logoff -=> Tb has to do login, SELECT Inbox, 
uid fetch 1:* Flags
    max cached connections=1 : FolderX steels connection from Inbox => When 
Inbox is accessed, Tb has to do SELECT Inbox, uid fetch 1:* Flags
If "close/reopen folder" like button/menu will be implemented, it's helpful for 
this bug.
But there is no need of such button in usual use. Button only for working 
around problem(in this case, in both Tb and Gmail) is not usually implemented.

About IDLE setting  : Server Settings/Advanced
About CONDSTORE : read Bug 912216, please.
About "adequate new mail check interval" :
   If "a few new mails per an hour", I believe "Check new messages Every 1 
minute" is usually not mandatory.
   If "10000 new mails per an hour", I believe "Check new messages Every 1 
minute" is not needed(rather annoying), 
   because you can know about many many new mails upon each mail viewing. :-)
