Which version of Thunderbird are you using?  The current version is 6.0.

I have just downloaded and installed the British English dictionary and it works OK. Make sure that, having installed a new dictionary, you then activate it via Options >> Check spelling >> Select language from drop-down list in lower left corner of dialog box.

If any of you out there use Thunderbird, for email, perhaps you have the

My blood pressure isn't helped by the spellchecker constantly trying to
have me "correct" words to the USA version. The only dictionary option
currently available is USA / ENGLISH. However one of the options is
Download Additional Dictionaries. I've tried that but now't seems to
happen. Am I missing something obvious.
