Title:
Thunderbird should be able to show new message alerts selectively
Status in “thunderbird” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Binary package hint: thunderbird
Currently Thunderbird's new-message alerts/sounds feature is an all or
nothing option. This means that if, say, I want to know if I have
received a message from a friend in the inbox of the account I reserve
for personal mail, I will also be alerted every time I receive a mail
from every mailing list, newsletter, etc that I subscribe to. Such
constant and irrelevant interruptions are unacceptable, thus rendering
the new message alert feature useless.
A much better system would be to allow the user to request alerts only
from specified mailboxes on specified mail accounts.
Even better would be to allow the user to request alerts only on
receipt of messages from a particular address, so that if you
anxiously awaiting a reply from your aunt or from the executor of the
estate of the late President Mobutu of the former Zaïre, you could be
a little less anxious. Perhaps a feature like this would be better as
a plugin...
