In earlier version I was able to change the time span before a mail was automatically marked as read. I cannot seem to find the tool to do that anymore. How is it done?

Hi, this is not working for me. I have Thunderbird 52.8.0 (64 bits) in Ubuntu.

Please see the attached screenshots of two advanced menus.
