Thunderbird can Growl

October 11th, 2008 Posted in Mozilla, SeaMonkey, Thunderbird

Today, I have just pushed a patch that enables Growl support for Thunderbird and SeaMonkey (Growl runs on Mac OS X). Now when you get new mail, you can get Growl alerts like:

Growl New Mail Notification

A big thank you goes to David Humphrey who supplied the patch.

There are some known bugs with the implementation and we welcome any help in resolving those.

Note for IMAP users: it seems that if you have a folder selected for offline use, then new mail notifications are not occurring as they should do.

    Any setting to make this actually display the subject and send of the new message(s), as the Growl extension for Thunderbird 2 does?
