Solved [Thunderbird] Open Thunderbird on system notification for new email

Hi,

With Thunderbird, I use system notifications (those of Windows 11) to notify me of the arrival of new mail.

But when I click on the notification, Thunderbird doesn't open. ;'(
I checked and Thunderbird is indeed my default email software but Nothing happens when clicking on the notification.




Is there a way to open Thunderbird by clicking on the notification system, using Regedit or an extension that I haven't found?

Thanks for your help.

From what I have just read around the internet, this appears to be a bug that nobody wants to fix.
Apparently (and I didn’t know you could get it from the store) if you install Thunderbird from the Microsoft Store, this doesn’t happen. I can not confirm this as I am yet to migrate to Thunderbird.

Merci @antspants

Yes I just read the same thing. :)

I'll try uninstalling it and installing it from the Mircrosoft store to see what happens...

Thanks for this tip.

It's great, it works if Thunderbird is downloaded from the Microsoft store.

Thank you so much !
