If you are unable to find the button with three dots near Categories drop-down menu, you're either using a Free version of EssentialPIM (check your version in Help -> About) or you are using the Business version and you don't have enough rights to edit categories. Refer to the administrator or if you have access to the admin account, login under SYSDBA user and adjust the rights under Tools -> Users.
