   Can you tell me how I can get to such a configuration screen ?  I do not see   
   any button, tab or other control even /hinting/ it it. :-\

   I pretty-much did that (which is why I could see all the "phone home"   
   domains), but used a white- instead of a blacklist, as the email program   
   only needs to talk to two domains : one pop and one smtp.  Blacklisting   
   everything also stops any HTML-email from by accident(?) accessing external   
   resources.   
      
   Having said that, I could imagine that Thunderbirds auto configuration could   
   be helpfull to a less experienced user - but at a cost.
