Oh, nice! I didn't realize how far down that preferences page went.
Too bad it requires redoing the account, but it might be worth it.
After a bunch of searching, I discovered that you don't have to redo the
account. There's a secret setting that lets you migrate the data:
mail.store_conversion_enabled
If you set that to true, it will let you change the message store type
in the server settings.
