For me, Thunderbird (+Lightning) just pops up into the foreground without stealing focus. But it's annoying as hell, because it seems to emit some notification which is instantly removed again. And thus, the main window pops up every few minutes without any important message.

Disruption windows (popups) include e.g. "Domain name mismatch", or "failed to connect to server." As I understand, such popups make sense if the user updates the mailbox actively. However, they should be disabled when mailboxes are updated automatically, since these problems do not require immediate attention.
