I have a number of accounts putting mail into a "Local Folders" inbox. When sending a new email or replying the same account linked to local folders is always listed as the sending address even if I am replying to an email sent to a different address.Of course I can change to sending address but I would prefer it to use the sending address to which the original email was sent. I would also like a different default sending address to be used for a new message. In the accounts setting tab the address being used as the default has a gold star by its name. I assume that is the marker showing it is the default. How do I change this to a different account?

The Default account can be set from Account Actions in Account Settings. It's possible to associate accounts with folders with this add-on:
