Thunderbird in macOS - icon not displaying a count of new mail
This took far too long to figure out, so I'm leaving the fix here in case someone else finds it useful. In Thunderbird Settings, select the 'general' cogwheel. Scroll down to the bottom and click on 'Config Editor' search for "mail.biff" Set mail.biff.show_alert = TRUE mail.biff.use_new_co...
