Fallback save to local folder, if saving to IMAP fails
I would like to save my send messages or drafts to IMAP. But if the server or the internet is down, I would like to be able to save it instead to a local folder. For Drafts, it is no big problem to save them manually in a local folder, for send mails, it is however annoying. So, when the question pops up: "There was an error saving the message to Drafts. Retry?", it would be nice if there was a third button, additional to 'Cancel' where the data is lost, and 'Ok' where it will fail again, a third option, 'save locally', would be possible. Is there an addon or a hidden option, to change the location, after I have send / started writing the mail?
Additional info: I was not able to change the settings for the current session, once the mail is send, to store it somewhere else. I think I have changed all settings to save mails locally, but it still tries to save sometimes to IMAP. So being able to configure where to save the current message, that would be great.
I am using Fedora, with thunderbird-31.7.0-1.fc21.x86_64 and thunderbird-lightning-3.3-5.fc21.x86_64

Apparently I did not change the settings for all identities.
After replaceing imap://*@*/ with mailbox://nobody@Local%20Folders/ it seems to work.
