Adam >>> Thanks for your advice.  I'm afraid I may not have been very 
clear, or may not be understanding what you mean when you say that mail 
notification supports gmail separately.  Perhaps I should explain my set up:

I have nine accounts set up in Thunderbird, and only three of them are 
gmail.  All nine accounts use pop3 (including the three gmail - I prefer 
to fetch them by pop3 rather than using the web site);  and only the 
gmail accounts need ssl.

If I follow your instructions above, will this enable mail-notification 
for all my accounts;  or will it work with just the gmail ones;  or just 
the non-gmail ones?

Sorry if I'm being a bit thick about this, but I'd rather get it right 
than make a mess that I have to unscramble later!

Thanks for your help
