[NFBCS] how to stop, and/or silence mail notifications and Thunderbird for Windows?

[Christopher Chaltain]

I found the following by doing a Bing search:


By default, Thunderbird will notify you of new mail via a pop-up box, as shown here. 2. If you don't want to be notified in this way, click Tools > Options > General. Uncheck either or both boxes for Show an alert or Play a sound. Then click OK.

Subject: [NFBCS] how to stop, and/or silence mail notifications and Thunderbird for Windows?



Good afternoon everyone, unfortunately whenever I get a new message in Thunderbird for Windows my dictation software just like what happens with the screen reader that runs with it, focus gets pulled away from where I'm dictating. Thus ruining the message before can actually finish dictating it. Does anyone have any good suggestions on how to silence incoming mail notification so that I can finish dictating what I need to when I need to finish a particular piece of mail?





A bit of background here. Because of a additional disability, I must use dictation software as some of you on the list may know. Unfortunately this dictation software is only available in Windows. So that means that I must use the dictation software in combination with Jaws for  windows.

The type of notifications that I need to silence or notifications they tell me new mail has arrived, then he proceeds to flash the new message on screen which of course disturbs the cursor position as it takes focus away and moves it to the new message instead of what I'm I'm working on.





Please note that of course as I've stated in this message it has been dictated to the computer by means of dictation software. If something that I've written above i.e. dictated above is unclear, please reach out to me and asked me what my original intent was? I look forward to hearing up any misunderstandings that might arise from the text that has been dictated above.





Disclaimer number two any thoughts, positions, or statements that have been written/dictated above they are mine, they don't reflect the views of the national Federation of the blind, or the national Federation of the blind deaf blind division. Thank you very much for reading this.
