New thunderbird 78.3.1 - native GPG support - no option to add your own keyserver

Hi to all From what I can see in thunderbird 78.3.1 native GPG support has been added. In the GPG manager there is an option to search for keys with "Keyserver", but there is no option anywhere to add your own keyserver address.

Is this option hidden somewhere? How can you also check which key servers are currently being queried when searching for this key for a given email?

Quote: "Enigmail used to offer searching on non-verifying keyservers. At this time Thunderbird doesn't offer that, because of the various issues that were detected with those keyservers in the recent past. If you need to obtain a key from a keyserver that isn't currently supported by Thunderbird 78, then you must use other software to obtain it, then save it to a file, then you can use OpenPGP Key Manager to import the public key file"

It is a pity that this option is not available.
