Local Folders are probably of little help with POP accounts but with
IMAP it makes sense to have a defined local storage.
Personally, this is the only practical use I ever found for Local Folders.
I use Local Folders for that (local, categorized archive) and
cross-folder/-server searches. For example there's a bug about
cross-newsgroup search folders that are put on below a news account (in
that case you're repeatedly asked to (un)subscribe that folder). If you
instead put such a search folder below Local Folders there is no problem
(at least starting with the upcoming SM 2.0.4 where bug 546040 is fixed
so that replying to a message in a search folder honors the message
type, e.g. news vs. POP/IMAP mail).
Greetings,

The only thing I saw with the advent of Local folders is the ability to
edit as new or resend Newsgroup post. In order to have the ability to do
so items *have to be* save to the local directory. Before you could save
them in a newsgroup folder within your email directory and you could do
so . Not now. You receive a message about if you continue your actions
will be ignored.
