However, a recent comment on bugzilla indicates that it might have been pulled due to a blocking bug for the time being: <a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=478463" target="_blank">https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=478463</a> There is however a Thunderbird extension that adds the Indicator Applet and libnotify support which you could use for the time-being: <a href="http://www.theopensourcerer.com/2010/02/09/indicator-applet-libnotify-support-for-thunderbird/" target="_blank">http://www.theopensourcerer.com/2010/02/09/indicator-applet-libnotify-support-for-thunderbird/</a> HTH Al -- The Open Learning Centre <a href="http://www.theopenlearningcentre.com" target="_blank">http://www.theopenlearningcentre.com</a> -- <a href="mailto:ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com">ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com</a> <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk" target="_blank">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk</a> <a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/" target="_blank">https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/</a> </blockquote></div>
