tbtrayicon

A very simple add-on for Thunderbird 68.2+ that uses native messaging to display a persistent icon in the KDE systray.
You definitely need a native binary in addition to the add-on. There is only one at the moment for KDE: a Qt5 application written in C++.

I suggest using the latest Thunderbird version 68.3.1, which fixes a bug in an API function when searching for unread messages. It may or may not work with earlier versions.

Features

New mail icon
Optional unread count
Selectable IMAP folders to watch
