  I think the OP meant local store is mbox only - obviously the mail
client is indifferent to the imap server storage choice.

With respect Dan I was referring to "local" storage - which cannot be
maildir in Thunderbird - yes it certainly supports connection to a
server such as dovecot but if you copy mail from that server to local
storage then it stores the mail locally as mbox format.
