Thunderbird not showing notifications for incoming mail

  • 772

Thunderbird 78.7.1 (apt version) running on Ubuntu 20.10 with default Gnome desktop. I don't get pop-up notifications when new mail arrives, although I believe I configured it properly. Thunderbird is running, minimized, and Birdtray shows new mail items, but no pop-up notifications. I do get pop-ups from Gmail in Firefox, so notifications are working on my system, but not from TB. See screenshots. enter image description here enter image description here

    Install thunderbird-gnome-support

    sudo apt install thunderbird-gnome-support

    Now Thunderbird notifications integrate well with Gnome desktop and Gnome notification center.
