Hello Ankur,
Thank you for submitting this bug and reporting a problem with Thunderbird.

You made this bug report in 2012 and there have been several versions of
Ubuntu and Thunderbird since then.

Could you confirm that this is no longer a problem and that we can close the 
ticket? 
Or, if it is still a problem, could you run the following (only once):
apport-collect 921410

and upload the updated logs and and any other logs that are relevant for
this particular issue.

Thank you again for helping make Ubuntu and Thunderbird better.

Title:
  cannot customise / change path of "Local Directory"

Status in thunderbird package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I am using thunderbird on dual boot i.e. windows XP & Ubuntu.
  As i am sharing same account data in both OS, I have made a separate folder 
for keeping my downloaded emails which i access through thunderbird installed 
on windows XP & Ubuntu.

  For that i need to modify defauld "Local Directory"  {Edit --> Account 
Setting --> server settings --> Local Directory (browse)} 
  I found that I can change the "local directory" from windows XP  installed 
thunderbird but i CANNOT do it from ubuntu installed thunderbird. 

  When i click on browse & go to my desired folder & select it, the
  selected folder do not appear in "Local Directory" window; instead it
  keep on showing default folder i.e.
  (/home/ankur/.thunderbird/orwq15s7.default/ImapMail/imap.googlemail.com)

  ... please note that till Thunderbird version 7 or older I did not
  have any issue like this. This problem i see from version 8 & also in
  version 9.

  Please fix it ASAP otherwise using thunderbird dose not have any sense
  as I need to download same account data separately for Windows XP &
  Ubuntu, which is ill-logical.
