urgentMail

Sets the urgent flag on Thunderbird window upon incoming mail.

Per default, the Add-on monitors every account's Inbox, though you can decide which folders to monitor in the Add-on's settings.

Installation

The Easy Way

Get it on the Thunderbird Addons Page


Old Install Instructions

To install as a temporary Thunderbird extension:

  1. Clone this repo to your machine
  2. In Thunderbird, navigate to the add-ons page
  3. Click on the gear icon on the top right side and select Debug Addons
  4. Select Load Temporary Addon and in the dialog, navigate to the cloned repo and open any file in the urgentMail directory - e.g. manifest.json.

The extension is now installed and active.

Usage

Just activate the add-on and Thunderbird will draw attention to itself on incoming mail.
This will let your window manager know that there is something going on in the respective workspace.
