no addins options for OWL

I'm using Thunderbird beta 80, because my employer only supports this version after they switched to oauth authentication in MS exchange (outlook.com based). It's very nice and stable, and mail works out of the box.

I'm trying to use the calendar functionality, and an add-on is needed for that. I wanted to try OWL for Exchange (recommended by employer), and Provider for Exchange ActiveSync. I can install both, but I can't seem to find the options GUI that is needed to set things up.

Hopefully I overlooked something, so please can you tell me how to reach the settings for add-ons in TB 80?

Thank you all very much I've gone back to version 78, where it was easy to find it all (I'm using OWL now, which was really simple to use in this version). The options are indeed in the manage page (it has it's own tab) which was missing in the beta versions, hopefully this will be fixed at some point.

Hello, thanks for the reply, but this is only about managing the add-on state, donating etc. The mentioned add-ons have their own options, like calendar settings. I can't seem to find those.

An example of this UI is on the page of the add-in itself:

Normally if they have options that can be changed, "manage" is where they would be.

But from the screen shots I see that tbsync configuration is in "account settings". Maybe OWL is the same?

The settings for TbSync are under Tools on the Menu Bar (see picture). Press Alt if the Menu Bar is hidden.
