Comment:

 This is now fixed.
 ([https://gitweb.torproject.org/torbirdy.git/blob/a17b2751139b1f8579eef54056cb86c3ca0e02ac:/ChangeLog
 commit)]. Note that I have not been able to reproduce the Enigmail bug;
 our motivation for fixing is independent of that.

 For IMAP accounts (and all related identities) messages will be saved in
 `Local Folders/Drafts` instead of being saved locally. This is true for
 both existing IMAP and new IMAP accounts (accounts created with TorBirdy's
 manual configuration wizard.)

 This setting is not enforced by TorBirdy so the user is free to change
 this and set it to their preferred default value.

 If you have additional identities for an account, please note the
 following:

  * For all accounts and identities that exist prior to TorBirdy's
 installation, this will be activated.
  * If you create a new account after TorBirdy is installed, this setting
 will be activated.
  * But, if you create an additional identity (other than the default one)
 for that account after TorBirdy is installed, this will ''not be
 activated''. You have to configure it manually for the new identity. This
 is because doing this automatically involves capturing the `am-identity-
 edit.xul` overlay and I am not motivated enough to undertake this at the
 moment and this is probably not required as most users TorBirdy users
 should not have multiple identities for a single account anyways.

 I am closing this for now. You can try it out from the repository if you
 want but please do so in a new profile/VM because I have not tested this
 extensively.
