How to delete "Local folders" and the "local account"
Hi, i'm wondering if there is a way to get rid of this "account". If I understand correctly, it is used for outbox (before mails go to the sent folder of the proper account), and also used for default Archive destination. I understand why this would be required for pop3 accounts but i'm using only IMAP or Exchange. I'd rather have my archived mails go to the Archive folder under the proper account too.

I was glad to assist. Thunderbird has many options and it takes time to learn them all. No, Local Folders can't be removed. :)

Local Folders is a placeholder in case you create local folders, nothing more. From the copies&folders pane, you can put archives wherever you wish.
That's the thing : I didn't want to create local folders. Maybe I did I, I don't know. In my IMAP accounts, when I hit Archive for a given email, it goes in the Archive folder under "Local folders".
But now I just found out that I can configure the archive destination under "Account settings / Keep messages archives in : ", so I can have each account have their own Archive folder like I was used too with the other email client starting with O (sorry for even mentioning it).
That said, there is not much use of the "Local folders". If it can be removed, i'm all ears.

By the way, consider using Local Folders. I find them to be indispensable. For example, suppose you discontinue an email address (or it gets taken away) and online access disappears. You can copy all messages from that gone-by account to Local Folders for archive and searching purposes. Or, if your email provider has quota limits, you can move the oldest ones to a local folder and free up space.
And back up your Thunderbird Profile regularly!
Maybe you're one of the many people who don't use and value old email like I do. For me, they are a searchable record of the past several decades of my on-line and "real" life.
