Growl New Message Notification is a Thunderbird plugin that delivers notifications whenever a new message arrives.
Despite its obsoletion, this extension does have some key features, such as being account type independent and allowing for customized header data in notification messages. It also works in the background, even when the application is hidden. To adjust the behavior of the extension, some of the necessary Thunderbird preferences include checking for new messages in account settings or setting up mail folders appropriately.
To install Growl New Message Notification, right-click the provided link and save the file to your hard disk. Then, open Add-ons in Mozilla Thunderbird and click Install. Keep in mind that this extension requires Thunderbird 1.5-2.0.0.*, as well as Growl working on the system and the growlnotify command line utility in /usr/local/bin/.
Overall, Growl New Message Notification is a useful extension for Thunderbird users, but its obsoletion underscores the need for using more up-to-date extensions for optimal performance.
