Folks:
I just restarted my machine, and am using Thunderbird 91.4.1 (the
latest) 64 bit on Debian 11. I didn't reinstall Thunderbird or upgrade
it. Before I restarted the machine, I had a Thunderbird email account
for local emails, which grabbed email from my /var/mail/paulf folder.
Now that account doesn't show up in Thunderbird, and I'm unable to
create an account like that (one which grabs mail from a local
folder). The dialogs which used to be there allowing you to create a
localhost mbox account are gone. I've verified the (complicated)
procedure for doing this on the Internet, and the dialogs shown are no
longer in Thunderbird. I am unable to create a localhost email account
in Thunderbird.
Any help? Did Thunderbird make some change I don't know about?
Paul
Looks like it :-(

Thanks for the info. Mozilla Foundation is seriously annoying me lately.
Can anyone recommend another MUA which uses mbox format and is
relatively easy to configure?
