        OS/Version: Linux

          Priority: NOR
         Component: config dialog

There is no reason I can see for Local Folders being listed as an account,
since it doesn't resemble any other account and isn't used for sending and
receiving. Thinking it was there in error, I deleted it and lost all my email.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Delete the "Local Folders" account

Actual Results:  
All your email is lost.

Expected Results:  
At a very minimum, there should be a warning that you're about to delete all
your email.

"Local Folders" should not be listed as an account.  The setting for the
location of the local folders should be somewhere else.
