Use .wl, but .emacs would also work. .wl is only read upon starting
WL. You want:

  (setq wl-stay-folder-window t)
                                ^

Move cursor to the location indicated by the caret (^) above, then use
C-x C-e to evaluate the statement. This way you can load the change
without restarting emacs or WL.

See above, my preference is to use .wl. I have never heard a good
reason to edit your .folders file by hand.

  (setq wl-message-id-domain "example.com")

but you can use gmail to generate your message id:

  (setq wl-insert-message-id nil)

Yes, for setting the from address, but it will not effect the
wl-message-id-domain variable.
