I'm using T-bird 17.0.8. I need to retrieve the password Thunderbird is using to
connect to my email account because I have forgotten it. This link seems to
explain the solution, but that's for an older version of Thunderbird and I can't find
the 'option' link in the 'Tools' menu no more.

You'll find it under Edit -> Preferences -> Security -> Passwords -> Saved Passwords -> Show Passwords. Click Yes at the prompt to show the passwords.
