'Movemail' from my recollection is a linux based OS system mail. movemail is a computer program by the GNU Project that moves mail from a user's Unix mailspool to another file. It is part of GNU Mailutils. So, I would assume you are using a Linux OS in order to have that options.

I've just done abit of searching and located this link that may provide more information https://wiki.mozilla.org/Thunderbird:Help_Documentation:Creating_an_Account

If you want to create a standard pop or imap account for an email address the use the 'Email' option.
