Just came back to tell you that you probably won’t need it.
This addon was one of my favourites, and it just broke few days ago.
But because of cosmetical things I had to disable Thunderbirds builtin notification.
Now that this addon dos not work anymore, I removed it, and gave a chance and reenabled the builtin notification window.
And it’s working!
Thunderbird 68.2.2 shows me native notifications upon new mails, this happens on Debian Buster u2.
Now I miss only the “classic” look of TB, which I achieved via “customize my bird” addon…
Maybe I’ll look for some replacement if I’ll have the time for it…
@kovacslt,
thanks for the reply
I have TB v60.9.0 and Linux Mint 19.2 doesn’t have any update for this program
I know TB actual version is v68.2.2
I don’t need to wait until LM updates the package?
Can I install TB v68.2.2?
i did this the other day in response to this thread. as it stood at the end of that process, thunderbird 68.2.2 was a standalone program that had to be run from executable and wouldn’t get updates (for the program. obviously it would get mail updates). i think i recall reading how such programs can be integrated into the system, but have never done so.

OK, I see.
Birdtray gives similar function. It’s in the Buster repo. I’ll look for it in Mint, probably it’s there too:
sudo apt install birdtray
Then selectin Bidtray select your INBOX.msf.
For me it’s now flashing: Bird icon 0,5 sec, unread counter 0,5 sec…
Thanks @kovacslt and Cord,
I already installed and test it.
BirdTray works very well with TB and don’t need to give google credentials to work: It only needs the TB’s database to look for new messages
This is want I really I was looking for but I’ll test Mailnag once again because I found something and maybe I can get it working…
I’ll get the feedback
In Ubuntu, in the sidebar dock, if you add Thunderbird icon as " favourite ", you will get a red notification badge with unread mail count on the icon. Will try to get you a screenshot of that. But looks like you have your solution already.
Thanks, @meetdilip
I don’t have knowledge about this and what I’ll write could be wrong.
I think you are using gnome shell which is for gnome 3 and could be a feature of gnome3/gnome shell.
I use MATE DE which is gnome 2,
Maybe this is the reason I don’t have the red notification badge on my TB icon, but sincerely I really don’t know why. This is just a thought of mine
