Thunderbird notifier wish
22 Aug 2004
On Windows, Thunderbird will pop up a small window by the system tray when a new message arrives. The window shows the number of new messages as the message arrives. As someone who leaves my email client open all day long, I don’t see the usefulness of this. What would be a lot more useful is something like Traylook from Pergenex Software offers for Outlook.
Traylook adds popup notification to Outlook. When new messages arrive, the notifier includes the sender and the subject of the message. For multiple messages, the popup scrolls through all of the messages. See the screenshots and a Flash animation.
This doesn’t seem like a tough thing to do as a Thunderbird extension. Anyone with the time to take a crack at it?
