Downloaded Thunderbird yesterday. I need to manually configure a new account for my new (own domain) email address hosted by a hosting company. For this your instructions say something like - Go to settings & select manual entry.

The Settings tab does not exist. You cant select to manually enter details. The automatic entry makes a mess of the settings. After the automatic entry, by fiddling about I found a way of editing some (not all) of the settings but I still cant make it download my inbox & imap folders.

Is the settings tab (for manual entry) hiding somewhere in the latest Thunderbird version?. Please Advise.

The wizard gets it wrong, I get that. So you correct the information in the wizard and test again and it should work. So please tel me what setting your need that is not available.
