I messed around with the account folders (which I store in a custom place not in C drive\roaming, BTW) and now I can't access them in my mailbox; what to do?

That one sentence says it. Inbox.sbd is missing some folders (that appear as subfolders in my inbox in Thunderbird itself). I had a subfolder misfiled under another folder (I think T-bird did that not me but...) and tried to move it in the sbd file and now I find MANY of my inbox folders are missing (and are not in the inbox.sbd file). Is there anything I can do? I may have a backup of the inbox but will not be absolultely current. Thanks in advance.

Inbox.sbd is a directory and should only contain INBOX and its sub-folders (Data and index-files) EDIT And subsubfolders You have access to all folders (files without extension) and you could easily import them into you present system. For example by using an add-on like ImportExportTools

I think its making things complicated by having subfolders to Inbox. You could as easy have them in a directory next to it. Inbox should always be kept small and compacted.
