How about escaping dot (with backslash) for the remote machine, or just
giving the whole path for remote machine in quotes:
scp -pr mlapier@192.168.15.105:"/home/mlapier/.thunderbird" /home/mlapier
?
Also, if you want to specify destination directory (say with different
name) you will need to end directory with forward slash both on local and
remote, like:
scp -pr mlapier@192.168.15.105:"/home/mlapier/.thunderbird/" \
/home/mlapier/.thunderbird/
(this should be one line which didn't fit for me in one line hence
backslash...)
