Re: Thunderbird not allowing local accounts

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?
