I was hoping to find an add-on that would fix Thunderbird's broken-by-design email notification popup so that it showed the newest emails first in the list, rather than showing a few recent unread mails, and then running out of room before getting to the latest ones.

This add-on's vague description didn't give me a ton of hope that it could do that, but I figured I'd try it out, since unlike most Thunderbird add-ons, it's been updated to show as compatible with 60.x.

Unfortunately the add-on has no effect on Thunderbird 60.4.0 on Windows 7. Is it even *supposed* to work on any version of Windows? The top Google result for '"notify-send" library' is a source file from the GNOME project, so I'm guessing this add-on is only designed to work on Linux (and maybe Solaris), but the developer simply didn't bother to mark it as such (neither textually, nor with metadata).

I did try clicking on the "Add-on home page" link, but it just takes you to the developer's blog main page, and there are no instances of "thunderbird" or "notif"(ications) on the first two pages of posts.

It's just what the doctor ordered, but I wish it would update and clear notifications after an e-mail is read. But it works!

Nice addon, now I get all my notifications through the desktop system. However, there is one slight problem: This addon also notifies for email that gets filtered by the Thunderbird junk filter (as in it arrives in the Inbox, gets filtered to Junk by the built-in junk mail control, I still get notifications.) If that was fixed, it would be perfect.

Needs chat notifications too and some options would be nice.

It's really helpful. But it'd be best if I can choose which folder(s) to get notifications for. I receive a lot of emails but I'm only interested in those filtered to a "to-me" folder. For now I'm editing the addon directly, adding an if-condition in isInterestingFolder.

I like this, but I'd love if you could add notifications for the thunderbird chat too.
