Can't find password manager

Hi,

I'm running Thunderbird 60.2.1 on Lubuntu 18.04.

I'm trying to resolve an issue in which Thunderbird seems to be pulling in an old password for an SMTP server that I use (same SMTP server but different credentials, so all my activity is being recorded to a client's account!).

To resolve this, I want to purge the saved passwords, but I'm not finding the 'passwords' option under 'preferences' as the guides suggest.

Anybody know where else it could be?

There's a problem with some Linux versions where the string in your picture, Junk Email Scams Antivirus Passwords, doesn't show as separate tabs. But if you click Passwords, it should display the relevant preferences.
