For the spanish from Spain, it will be enough to add it in

So only version 3.0 had a link to dictionaries and nothing since then.

However, I don't understand why you feel this is necessary - all the dictionary select menus now have options to download more dictionaries. These options also open up amo within Thunderbird, and then the user can install direct, rather than having to save the dictionary and then install into Thunderbird (which is what would happen via the start page).

If there's something missing, then it should probably be addressed for everyone. I'm just not convinced the start page is the right place to do that.
