Even though the local storage is in mbox format which I dislike (I far prefer maildir), I don't need it since I run a local dovecot imap server on each machine and run filters to copy mail to the local imap store which then also has the advantage that mail is client agnostic.
Thunderbird automatically supports mbox & maildir, providing that dovecot & sendmail (or postfix) are properly configured for maildir. I have exactly that and works great with Thunderbird.
With respect Dan I was referring to "local" storage - which cannot be maildir in Thunderbird - yes it certainly supports connection to a server such as dovecot but if you copy mail from that server to local storage then it stores the mail locally as mbox format.
