I'm working in a Linux-based environment where there are more than 100 servers. I need to get a mail notification and popup notification whenever anyone connects a storage device. How do I configure that?
I am using Thunderbird (version 68.7) on a fresh install of Ubuntu 20.04 but I do not get any notification popup in the system tray.
I switched on notifications in the Thunderbird settings and notifications from other applications (such as Ubuntu Software Updater) are visible.
Besides, I used the same Thunderbird configuration on Ubuntu 19.04 earlier (as kept the config files and stored messages on my home partition)
Do I need to install any additional packages?
Just like what people asked here in the past (How to run Thunderbird in the background?, Start Thunderbird in background), I would like to have Thunderbird running at all times during which my PC is turned on and notify me of new e-mails.
In the past, many suggested FireTray, which is not available for Thunderbird >50.
What would be your best workaround?
I have Ubuntu 16.04/Thunderbird 52.
