I am using Thunderbird to read my gmail and yahoo emails. Both using IMAP. Then in the Synchronization & Storage option of the account, I tick the check-box with the message: Keep messages for this account on this computer.
So, where on my filesystem does Thunderbird store these archived messages?
P.S. I have the ~/.mozilla and ~/.thunderbird folders in my home directory.

If you didn't change the default profile, Thunderbird will save imap accounts in ~/.thunderbird/ and Directories there for your different accounts.
Anyways, you can have a look in ~/.thunderbird/profiles.ini under [Profile0] to see the path it is using for your profile.
LocalFolders and Pop accounts are in ~/.thunderbird/ directory.
In ubuntu , open your Home directory and press Ctrl +H to show hidden files in this directory . You will found .thunderbird in which you will get all files related to your mail .
