Use sound notification when receiving specific e-mails

more options

I've recently become a moderator on a forum so I set Thunderbird to give me a sound notification when a new e-mail arrives. But the problem is Thunderbird does this for all e-mails. Is there any way to set the sound notification to work only when an e-mail comes in from a specific source? I would love for it to just do this for that particular forum and not others.

If you have downloaded the file go to addons-extensions, click the gear icon and select Install from file.

I have not used this add-on but it claims to do what you want to do. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/tonequilla/?src=ss

Thanks folks. Where do I need to extract the files to?

more options

You install the file not extract it. Open the add on tab and select Extensions. Enter tonequilla in the search box and install it.

Strange, whether I save the file or just download it, when I open it it comes up in WinRAR. You're saying it doesn't need that? If I do as you suggest and search for tonequilla I get this message.

Could not find any matching add-ons.

Also searching Mozilla for this add-on comes up with the message that none of them are compatible with my version of Thunderbird. As far as I know I have the latest version.

Thanks Airmail. I think it's installed and set up, so now I wait for a new message to see if it works.

Success, thanks Airmail and Zenos.
