Bug Description

Binary package hint: mozilla-thunderbird

When adding an account in thunderbird through the "Account Settings" panel, at the bottom of the "Server Information" step, a paragraph incorrectly points to the "Tools Menu" to reach the "Account Settings" panel. It should point to the "Edit Menu".
Already exists upstream : https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=356770

It better not be in the Apple menu. However, it's also not in the Thunderbird menu - it's just Linux where it's not in Tools.

Thanks for the clarification. I should've known better than to mistake 'Thunderbird menu' for 'Apple menu'. Anyway, an alternative would be to move 'Account settings' to Tools on Linux. I'm not sure how important it is to keep 'Preference' and 'Account settings' in the same menu.

Avoiding talking about menus altogether. I also doubt you ever want to change the settings of the existing server, you want to change which one to use, possibly setting up an new one.

Not sure how much tb will use the old style account wiz in the end, but we might as well fix this.

We don't need any string text changes as such because we have no plans to stop using the Edit menu on any platform.

I can ignore changing suite/ wording if want, though the message is still off imo.

I double-checked and I still don't see anything wrong with suite's current wording so sr=me only on syncing the name changes.

There is a superfluous "the" in that last sentence.
