Please in the Steps to reproduce, Actual results, and Expected results, fill in those things an not some other information.

Are you reporting that the path changes from a "real path" to "/run/user..."? What are the paths.
Which version did it work in?

Hi, thank you for your reply. I reported everything what you are asking for already in my first comments and in the description of the issue.

Are you reporting that the path changes from a "real path" to "/run/user..."? What are the paths. --> YES

Which version did it work in? --> thunderbird (Revision 579) (last I know)

Steps to reproduce (again summarized, as I did in the issue description):
Upgrade snap version to 133.0b5 (64-Bit) --> Settings --> Account Settings --> Server Settings --> Mail Storage --> Local Folder --> change the path with select folder button --> select a folder --> path does not change from the snap directory /run/user/xxxxx95/mailwhatsoeverfolder

I, BTW, will open an issue in https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/thunderbird/+bugs (as suggested by @Corey Bryant)
