The official web page http://offlineimap.org/ says that it supports Maildir
or IMAP as the local repository.

No, there isn't a way to make the IMAP server into a client of local
folders.  You can however save individual messages into an IMAP folder
using `vm-save-message-to-imap-folder'.

Yes, `vm-imap-save-composition' does that.  Or, look up IMAP-FCC in a recent
version of the manual.
