How can I receive an OBVIOUS error message when Thunderbird can't connect?
I have multiple email accounts in Thunderbird. Some had connection problems during multiple hours due to server problems. I did not notice because Thunderbird does not give me OBVIOUS warnings. Thunderbird could have popped up a message, or pop up the recent activities windows (Tools > Activity manager), showing the connection errors. a) Can I configure this somehow? b) Or is there an Addon to do this?
Thx

Pay attention to the status bar messages.

Pay attention to the status bar messages.
You mean the status bar of Windows? Which is what I can see when working. Thunderbird is closed to the taskbar until I receive notice about new messages - or errors, respectively ... And what happens when I go to lunch and return, do status bar messages (either Tbird or Windows) stay visible until I actively dismiss them?

No, the Thunderbird status bar.

You'd notice the first time this happens upon Thunderbird startup. When using Windows there's also an error pop-up, similar to the new mail notification. It doesn't stay open though.

That's interesting. How do I set that up?

You don't. The error pops up only once upon start up.
