Bug Description

Binary package hint: thunderbird

I assume thunderbird 3 will soon be merged into lucid. The current new email notification in thunderbird 2 (Mozilla New Mail Icon) does no longer work on Thunderbird 3. However this is a good opportunity to integrate the new mail notification with libnotiff. The current notification system (both in TB 2 and 3) is oddly out of place (in the lower right corner).

In addition the applet already used by evolution for a new mail notification should be also implemented in TB 3.

Implementing an addon based on firefox-notify may solve the first issue (the use of notify).
