Bug Description
Binary package hint: thunderbird
Thunderbird seems to have lost its IMAP folders and will not let me re-type the path in the Account settings. Since the path uses "dot" folders, they are invisible when I try to browse to the folder even though I have enabled the viewing of hidden files on the system. This serious limitation appears to be a design bug or at least the ability to type or paste in the path needs to be added.
Thunderbird version 2.0.0.22 (20090608)

Is this still an issue for you?
I don't understand your report:
1) If you don't see a directory, even with "display hidden files", maybe you deleted it?
2) You can paste the path to the local directory of a mail account: under "Server settings" -> "Local directory"
