How do I locate the mailbox for the message I'm looking at?
Eudora had a feature where you could locate the mailbox for the message you were looking at by holding down the control key while double-clicking the message title bar. It's been over two years since I was finally forced to give up Eudora -- is such a feature in the works?

I suggest you explore the menus available via a right click. You should see options there to open a message in various ways, including visiting the folder wherein it resides.
I have to say that this is most commonly useful after searching for a message, and Thunderbird has found many messages, in different folders, that satisfy the current search criteria. Then you'd want to locate the particular message of interest and the rest of the conversation it belongs to.
Normally in Thunderbird you browse through folders so the "where" is implicit.

Locate the mailbox? What mailbox? or perhaps I should ask what it was Eudora called a mailbox. Many of the terms Eudora used had meaning only in terms of Eudora.
The header of each email has a from or a to. (from in the sent folder.) So locating the account is simple a matter of reading what is in front of you. Perhaps it is this term mailbox that has me confused. I really have no idea what that is. Is it what Thunderbird calls folders?
Yes, folders.
