Changing the directory where e-mail messages are stored

Hi, I just installed Thunderbird on Fedora Linux and I tried to change the default directory where Thunderbird stores e-mail boxes for each e-mail account.

I managed to do the change, however the directory absolute path which is shown in the local directory field is different from what I just changed, even though the change has been successful and I can see the content of my inbox. For example the shown path is 

                             "/run/flatpak/doc/lad91b03/mailserver-name.org"

(this absolute path doesn't exist) and the real path is something like: 

                         /home/username/Documents/Mail/AppData/Roaming/Profiles/...../mailserver-name.org"

This doesn't happen on Windows...
