Thunderbird Notifications for just my Inbox

I have a single Outlook email set up to route mail to folders and only mail from my contacts to the Inbox.

It's a good setup. I check folders when I feel like it. Junk much less. The inbox when it arrives.

I want Thunderbird to only notify for mail to my Inbox.

There does not appear to be a way.

I did try the NTFNTF add-on. It looks cool and has check boxes, but does nothing. I'm running the latest Thunderbird Version 128.6.1esr

For now, and perhaps forever, I just let my phone alert me. It only does inbox (the normal).

Using Thunderbirds junk filters is not an option for normal people who check and receive mail with more than just the one device!

So, is there something I missed or an add-on that I missed (and works for this version) ?

Since I bothered to sign up and post, I’ll reply to myself.

I forgot to mention that I added this to the Config Editor...

mail.server.default.check_all_folders_for_new

I wanted my folders to update without clicking on each one.

Decided to get rid of it and click around or just close and open, rather than be pestered with notifications I don’t want.

Helpful?
