Since you think it's 2 options for the same (it's not) then it
suggests that it's user error.

The folder preference works when you have that folder open and are
replying or composing a new message.

The account preference is regardless of where you are on your folder
tree, unless you are in a folder that has the folder pref set, as
the folder pref has precedence.
