283915 - new mail notification in system tray is needed for linux also

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 18732

(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

Description

[Rafał Maj]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20050110 Firefox/1.0 (Debian package 1.0+dfsg.1-2)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20050110 Firefox/1.0 (Debian package 1.0+dfsg.1-2)

Notification of new email is very usefull. AFAIK Linux version offers only
play-sound actoion.
Adding
  1) system tray icon (same as in win32 version)
  2) general run-program action (to run given program/script)
would be very usefull.

I consider it almost a bug, because it makes linux verion almost useless in
comparsion with win32 version, if one is in example working in office and
communicationg with boss/clients, and he must respond to email in 5-10 minutes.

Reproducible: Always
