  • Motifications for newly arrived email

    From Brian Gregory@21:1/5 to All on Sun Mar 14 08:04:50 2021
    I'm running the latest 64 bit release Thunderbird for Windows (78.8.1 at
    time of writing) on Windows 7.

    How can I make it so that I don't get multiple notifications for emails
    that arrive?

    I just want one notification when a new message(s) arrive(s).

    I don't want to be notified multiple times about the same message(s)
    just because they are still unread.

    When I use 78.8.1 on Windows 10 and get a new email notification, the
    most I see in the notification dialog is six messages. I could be
    getting many more than that depending how often I use the application.

    After that notification, and one new email arrives, I see it with five
    other previous emails any of which I can click on and read.

    That's much better than the native Linux notification which only shows
    one message with a notification that only brings the application into
    focus if I click on it, and then I have to find the message.

    Are you seeing more than six?

    Seems to be up to six, but as far as I can see I get two identical notifications each time a message arrives.

    Sorry, I'm not a regular Windows user and can't verify.

    I saw the huge Feeds notification for the first time ever today, after I updated Windows and started Thunderbird.

    That be bug 1697882.
