Are there any plans for tray icon and desktop notification support? Those features are the only reason I would run a desktop email client, without them I'll just use a browser. I know Birdtray exists but I can't get it to work with flatpak Thunderbird.
The desktop notifications are built in now. As for tray, I'm trying out systray-x.
There may be solutions for your issue. https://github.com/gyunaev/birdtray/issues/514
Maybe try birdtray flatpak or using the special launch argument as described in the link from the comment.
