I have inadvertently added an incorrectly spelt word to the dictionary in my email client (Thunderbird 38.1.0). I wish to edit the dictionary to remove this error. I cannot find a way to achieve this.

Can anyone help?

The spell check dialogue window has an "Edit" button. So open a Write window, provoke it to check the spelling and click this button.
