No notifications for new emails #11

I'm assuming you mean Thunderbird doesn't go through the DE's notification system? |
|
You could bundle https://addons.mozilla.org/de/thunderbird/addon/gnotifier |
|
Would seem like a good solution for now. How do you bundle add-ons though? |
|
I don't think you need to bundle an addon.. Adding |
|
Excellent, I'll make the changes. |
|
(Do test it, I don't use Thunderbird) |
|
I don't use a DE with notifications...I'll spin up a VM. |
|
I can confirm that the "gnotifier" extension is indeed not necessary. However it does make the notifications more functional, adding an assortment of useful buttons such as "Delete" and "Mark as read". Shipping that extension by default would be more of a nice-to-have, though. |
|
It's a creature comfort rather than a missing functionality. If a user wants it, they can install the extension, this is my opinion on the matter. If the notification portal works, I'll just use that. Unless I get high demand for this add-on to be included I don't see a point. |
|
Hrmm, with Thunderbird installed within a CentOS7 VM using MATE, with the new update (which should allow integrated notifications) I don't seem to be getting any notifications...how about you @Pointedstick ? |
|
Thunderbird on Fedora Atomic Workstation with GNOME 3 doesn't seem to use GNOME notifications either oddly enough. |
|
Can confirm that the notifications bus seems to be open. Perhaps this has to due with the lack of the use of portals in Thunderbird. |
|
It shouldn't - if it's using dbus then that should work. Have you run the app under --log-system-bus and --log-session-bus to see what it's talking to and then opening holes to whitelist that? |
|
No I haven't, I could try doing this, thanks for the advice. |
|
I ran Thunderbird (with those options), sent myself a mail (got a notification) and this is what was logged: |
|
I have already installed. I proof it, but I noted the notification appears if thunderbird is running but if not the notification doesn't appears. Some idea what about? That is normal behavier? |
|
I think this is perfectly normal behavior, if Thunderbird is not running, then it can't send notifications, naturally. |
|
Sorry, I should explain it better. I send a email from my celular Phone to my email Google. But I waited see notification in my desktop, but I did not see it |
|
So are you saying notifications only appear sometimes, but not others? |
|
Yes, if thunderbird is running the notifications appear in my desktop, but if I close it and someone or myself, send me emails, the notifications simply do not appear. |
|
What do you mean by |
|
Fully exit. That is normal? |
|
Some other email clients shows the notifications with the applications fully exit. |
|
Yes. As far as I know. I don't think Thunderbird runs in the background? |
|
Once I can get |
|
I'll push what I have (which is just a manifest change) to the branch for anyone interested in investigating. link: https://github.com/flathub/org.mozilla.Thunderbird/tree/libnotify-test |

In Terminal Does this help? |
|
No, not at all. There are build instructions on this repos wiki. Also, Then you'd do |

https://send.firefox.com/download/9300b29568/#73FR1p5k0Feke-hUbZ4dmA I zipped up the steps to setup (assuming you already have the flathub repo added): $ unzip repo.zip
$ flatpak --user remote-add --no-gpg-verify localtbrepo /home/user/repo
$ flatpak --user install localtbrepo org.mozila.Thunderbird |

Results so far: (I'll update these as I test) Fedora 28 with MATE: DE notifications aren't used |
Linux Mint 19 Cinnamon 64-bit beta Do you have any suggestions? Thank you |
|
make sure that |

Thunderbird Beta Notes Tested Thunderbird 60.0b7 and DE Notifications work on Linux Mint 18.3 Cinnamon 64-bit. Since the next stable release of Thunderbird is Thunderbird 60 and expected this month (June 2018), seems that it should work with your flatpak without any additional work. Should Thunderbird 60.0b7 beta be tested with your flatpak or should we just wait for the official release? Thank you |

Agree with you. Please close this ticket and delete your |

I'll close it when I see it work, I will happily delete the branch though. |
|
Anyone have any update on this, whether notifications are working for them or not with |
|
https://flathub.org/apps/details/org.mozilla.Thunderbird shows 52.9.1. Do you know when it will show 60.0 to enabling testing? Thank you @AdrianKoshka for releasing Thunderbird 60.0 flatpak. |
|
It's 60, I know that, I don't know when flathub updates metadata, but the update has come through. |

I confirmed that new mail notifications work. In order to make it work you need two things:

The notification system doesn't work again in thunderbird flatpak in Fedora 35 silverblue
|
Do you mean only when app is running or only when app window is focused? For me the notifications still show up when app is running in background. |
|
Only when the app is running. |
|
So this is expected behavior. The app can show notifications only when it's running. How you can expect app showing notifications if you you didn't start it? There is helper app that can hide TB in the background if you don't want see it's window all the time |
|
Makes sense, I thought it works like discord, like it does send notification even the window is closed. |
The Flathub Thunderbird package does not send notifications for new emails the way distro package versions do.
