Solutions
Workaround
install the last 0.7 builds, configure the Account synchro options, and only then update the system!
Or, install Davx5 and configure the same account
(On the screenshot, there's the 0.8 build on the left, and the 0.7 build on the right)IMG_20200508_094804_hdr_new.xcf
Update: Just found casually another workaround to arrive to Account Manager options: main Menu, Settings, Accounts, add account, choose /e/ Address book or Google Address book or WebDav Address book, and finally you get to the missing options of Davx/Account manager to setup all the entries. However, I think it is not intentional, and probably it will return as before in build 1, or with the upgrade to the latest release of Davx in /e/ OS
