bug: Ignoring "Local directory" change for Local folders

I wanted to change my mail directory: 
  - I changed the "Local directory" settings in the "Account settings" window
    for all my PO boxes
  - this worked for all but Local folders : when I chose the local directory, TB
    ignored it (so it remain the last used mail directory)
  - I could only fix it by editing "prefs.js" file




Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Menu items
1. tools
2. account settings
3. selecting Local folders
4. trying to change local directory
5. won't work

Actual Results:  
It did not change the local directory setting for Local folders.

Expected Results:  
It should have changed local directory setting.
