[Bug 1491249] [NEW] Regression: Visual new email notification no longer working in 38.2.0

[Jan Henke]

Public bug reported:

One feature of Thunderbird is a notification through the system
notification system whenever a new email arrives in the inbox. With the
recent update to version 38.2 this notification no longer works. The
"new email" sound plays, but the visual notification is no longer
displayed.

This is clearly a regression, since it worked with the previous versions
of Thunderbird.
