I'm an unexperienced Ubuntu user. I re-installed Xubuntu 15.04 a couple of days ago and I am not getting the new mail notifications for Thunderbird (I think I may have been getting them at the start, but not sure I remember right).

I checked under Thunderbird preferences. The "show an alert" box under "when a new message arrives" is ticked. I also checked forums for an answer and could not find anything. Can someone help please?

Install plugin Mailbox Alert in Thunderbird

After that you can customize a lot :)

Also maybe you will be interested in notifications for chat: Thunderbird Chat Notification

Another interesting plugin is FireTray to run Thunderbird in background.

IMPORTANT You won't get notifications if Thunderbird isn't running.

Sample how to activate notifications for Mailbox Alert enter image description here
