You can change that default global use of the Local Folders' Inbox. Do 
click on the Advanced button on the Server Settings of the account 
(Tools/Account settings); change the global assignment to Inbox for this 
server account.
Move your messages over to your new account folders and you're done.

Note to file: this default, global inbox, has been bugging new users as 
long as it exists. What was the deciding factor for this choice?

I created a new email account but only "Local Folders" is shown on the

left pane. On the Account Settings "Local Folders" is the only option

for "Sent Folder" on and other folders for the new account.
