I don't have an Edit option in my thunderbird toolbar.
As I said, the only options are
Get Mail, Write, Chat, Address Book and Quick Filter.

When in doubt, try clicking on every possible menu and see what's offered.  

I don't see any menu on my thunderbird screen.
I am running thunderbird-17.0.2-1.fc18.i686, incidentally.
