Thunderbird, chat extension, what about notification

7

As you may have noticed, Thunderbird's new version has now a built-in feature that allows you to use it as a chat client. For example, Google talk. So I initiated my own account. The problem is that there are no notifications, for example in the tray. Any ideas?

Notification works in the windows version. There's a ding. – David Heffernan – 2012-09-04T20:29:09.813

FiltaQuilla is an add-on that enables the user to properly and precisely configure notifications, based on built-in filters or enhanced filters. Maybe one could try to extend its functionality to filter/notify chat messages. I don't have a full answer here, but it might be a good start. I would not be surprised if the developer of this add-on would make something for chat.

Hey Beercow, thanks for contributing. Note that on Superuser it's considered good form to explain why something is helpful, not just link it. Moo! – Isaac Rabinovitch – 2012-11-25T22:46:00.443
