In Edit->Account Settings there is a configuration page for "Local Folders" where under "Message Storage" you can set the "Message Store Type" to either "Mbox" or "Maildir", which a different specification to the same thing under "Server Settings" which as I understand it applies to the Inbox. As far as I am aware both of these configurations are available irrespective of whether you are using POP3 or IMAP. Also from memory I think you can change the "Local Folders" specification and Thunderbird will reformat the Local Folders on the fly. I have swapped backwards and forwards between these two specifications particularly when Thunderbird had the issue of Cross Linking emails.

Oh, nice! I didn't realize how far down that preferences page went. Too bad it requires redoing the account, but it might be worth it.After a bunch of searching, I discovered that you don't have to redo the account. There's a secret setting that lets you migrate the data:mail.store_conversion_enabledIf you set that to true, it will let you change the message store type in the server settings._______________________________________________Thanks for finding that!
