Chris and All:
Installing a Thunderbird addon/extension has once agin defied me. Would
some kind soul please post installation instructions for Mailbox Alert
that Chris mentioned some time ago? I downloaded it, but the
instructions I found on Mozilla help for installing Thunderbird addons
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/add-ons-and-extensions-faq?esab=a&s=install+thunderbird+addons&r=7&as=s#w_how-do-i-install-an-add-on
aren't working for me. I think I found it starting from Thunderbird.
The instructions
How do I install an add-on?
There are two ways you may install add-ons: from within Thunderbird and
from outside
Thunderbird.
Installing add-ons downloaded from outside Thunderbird (e.g. using a web
browser
like Firefox):
1. Download the add-on to your computer, unless you already have it saved.
◦ A source of add-ons is Mozilla's
Add-ons website
..
2. In Thunderbird, open
Tools | Add-ons
..
3. Click the "gear" icon at the top-right corner to the left of the
search box and then
Install Add-on From File...
4. Browse to the location of the add-on installation file, select it,
and click
Open
..
5. Click
Install Now
once the button is available.
◦ Add-ons that are from
https://addons.mozilla.org/
are reviewed by Mozilla.
◦ If the author is verified, the author name will be displayed.
6. Restart Thunderbird to complete your changes.
Installing add-ons from within Thunderbird:
1. Go to
Tools | Add-ons
..
2. Click
Get Add-ons
..
3. Type the name or keywords of the add-on you want in the search field
and click the
magnifier icon (or press
Enter
).
4. Select the desired add-on from the results list.
5. Click
Add to Thunderbird...
..
6. Click
Install Now
once the button is available.
◦ Add-ons that are from
https://addons.mozilla.org/
are reviewed by Mozilla.
◦ If the author is verified, the author name will be displayed.
7. Restart Thunderbird to complete your changes.
work until step 4 when it always says no matches found.
I also tried the installation with JAWS and had no luck with it either.
I'm running the latest WE and Thunderbird 24.5.0 on 64 bit Windows 7
Home Premium.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Try looking for a Thunderbird extension called "mailbox alert"
You can have messages set up for different folders as well as having an
audio sound play when mail gets dropped in that folder. Each folder you
want to monitor can have its own sound.

Greetings to the list.
If one creates a filter so that messages from a particular user
automatically go into a mailbox located under the "Inbox" folder, the
sighted user sees an alert that he or she should look in that box for
a message. I operate with all of the mailboxes in my "Inbox" folder
closed, so no such alert occurs. Of course, I can check the desired
mailbox periodically for messages, but is there a way to trigger an
alert that Window-Eyes can monitor?
Thank you for all help.
