I'm an iMac user that just switched over to Thunderbird. I can't any topics that address this issue. I see the "local folders" at the bottom of my email accounts. Is this where I can set up folders to move emails to my hard drive.

I just have emails I want to save locally and not clutter up my IMAP server area.
