Can you provide a screenshot of this "account setting" control you are using?

I'd go to Tools|Account Settings in the menu in the Windows version of Thunderbird. I'm not sure what you're using.

Launch TB in safe mode, then check 'Reset toolbars and controls' and click 'Make changes and restart'. Does the Account Settings window now look OK in normal mode?
