Affected versions

• 133.0a1(20241006105017)

Affected platforms

• Ubuntu 22.04
• Ubuntu 24.04
• Windows 11
• Windows 10
• macOS 14

Steps to reproduce

1. Launch TB.
2. Meet conditions to receive Inapp Notification.

Expected result

• As a user , I would expect to receive the notification in a less used(less crowded) area of the application, i.e down-right section of the application.

Actual result

• At the moment, the notification is received in the left-down section of the screen, covering the accounts and folders pane of Thunderbird, affecting the overall user experience.
• As a Windows user, I am more accustomed to receiving notifications in the down-right area of the screen.
• As a macOS user, I am more accustomed to receiving notifications in the top-right area of the screen.
• As an Linux user, I am more accustomed to receiving notifications from the center of the screen.
• All of the above points come to prove that receiving notifications in the down left area of the screen is counter intuitive and would overall leave the user quickly closing the notification as it covers his working area (i.e accounts and folders pane) and not interacting with the notification in a positive way for us.
