"So how do we now fix the configuration? For IMAP, the "Account Path Prefix" had been blank (which I guess was defaulting to my home directory on the remote system), so I tried changing it to /var/spool/mail/cook (which of course is not a path prefix of any account, it's just the filename of my remote mail file) and now I can finally finally read my mail with Mail.app!"

In reality, you weren't "fixing" anything, you just configured it properly the second time. Should be titled "How to fix potential Mail.app hanging problems caused by user error in the IMAP configuration process"

Another alternative would be to just fix the plist file that contains the configuration info, which wouldn't require borking your cache and configuration for other properly configured accounts
