I recently switched my email DNS / hosting and want to edit the IMAP server / password without deleting/re-adding the account

I recently switched my email DNS / hosting and want to edit the IMAP server / password without deleting/re-adding the account. When I go to my account settings, I don't see any fields for editing the IMAP server and password for an existing email account. Which is irritating. Am I missing something? I guess if you email me, I won't receive it since I have already switched over my email DNS.

You cannot edit an existing account. Set up a new account in Thunderbird for the new server settings.
