Support for Thunderbird v68.0?

[qcybb]

Could you please add support for Thunderbird v68.0?

If this doesn't get Thunderbird 68 support try looking at birdtray as an alternative.

I highly doubt that this extension will be working for TB 68+. If I understand the release notes correctly, only webextension based addons will be supported from now on.

Still a shame that the TB devs don't want to support this feature natively.

Seams that there is some posibilities...

Birdtray also does not work with Thunderbird 68.

Is there any chance it will get updated for Tb68?

Yes, it does I am using it right now with Tb68 and it works.

Does birdtray show unread count?
Additionally birdtray says, it does not work with Tb68: https://github.com/gyunaev/birdtray
also see this bug submitted by me: gyunaev/birdtray#127

[afettouhi]

Yes, in my case birdtray shows uncount for my two mail accounts (one gmail the other one is an exchange account).

[katonagl]

Could you notify gyunaev about it?
I hope firetray will work, but birdtray is also a nice solution.

[afettouhi]

Ok, I will.

I prefer to have only 1 addon instead to have two programs...

I agree with you there but all the current addons that used to work don't work or are either abandoned. I still don't understand why Thunderbird never implemented this feature. The original bug report for that issue is now closed with the argument that tray icons are a thing of the past.

[katonagl]

Could you link the original bug report for Tb?

[afettouhi]

This should be it.

Yes, it is a very very old issue.
