Can't add unix movemail account on macOS
I'm trying to read local mail from /var/mail on macOS.
I can put mail there (via postfix I assume) using something like `mail -s "Test mail" username. I can also read it using `mail`.
I have read that in theory, Thunderbird should be able to read this mail too. For example, https://askubuntu.com/questions/301988/using-movemail-with-thunderbird-on-ubuntu
The above link suggests that if I go to Tools->Account Settings, then Account Actions->Add other account, I should find an option to add a 'Unix Mailspool (Movemail)' account.
However, when I go there on mac, I only have the option to add a Newsgroup account. (See attached screenshot)
Is there a way to enable this feature on mac?
I asked a similar question on this closed bug, but was told to come here instead: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=365879#c6

did you migrate your profile at some time from windows?
It was a fresh install on macOS. I have not used Thunderbird on Windows.
I have no idea then.
