✨ birdtray(1) ✨

okay bestie, gather round, we're talking about birdtray — that's the birdtray(1) manual page, mail-adjacent, and she is literally the system tray notifications girlie for Thunderbird 🦋

🎀 NAME 🎀

birdtray — system tray notifications for Thunderbird 💌

no cap, that's the whole job. she sits in your tray and tells you when the mail lands. iconic behaviour, honestly.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

Birdtray is supposed to be ran with no arguments in a session startup script. Most modern desktop environments provide their own way to do so. ✨

so like — no flags, no drama, no arguments. you just let your session startup script call her and she does her thing. every modern DE has its own lil way of doing that, so check with yours, k? 🫶

💅 OPTIONS 💅

Any end-user configuration is done by right-clicking Birdtray's icon. 🖱️ That's the vibe. That's the whole config experience. right-click, and you're in.

There's one debugging option:

• --dumpmork file.msf — Display the contents of a Mork file (used by Thunderbird indices). 🔍 Like, it just dumps the whole thing out for you to look at. dev mode only, bestie, this is the file.msf reveal 💀

🦋 FILES 🦋

~/.thunderbird/*.default/ImapMail/

that's where she's looking 👀 that's the spot.

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

not me checking the original and there being no SEE ALSO section 😭 nothing here, bestie — this page keeps it short and sweet.

and that's the tea ☕ this page comes to you from Debian, dated 2019-01-10, and it's the birdtray(1) page, so go forth and let your tray be cute 💖✨
