Re: You've got mail

Did you reboot so that the mailnag daemon could be activated? There should be an icon on the panel which tells you that you have mail and how many mails. To mark email as having been received you can "mark all read" with a middle mouse click if specified in mailnag configuration (right cli...

Re: You've got mail

As far as I know, the mail alert in Thunderbird works only when Thunderbird is opened. A better option to achieve your wish is to use "Mailnag" which is one of the Cinnamon Spices. Look for Mailnag by Ozd in System Settings, Applets, Download. After downloading you also have to install the...

An incoming message will list its components on the right side of the claws mail screen which includes any attachments. Using a right mouse click there will give you the option to "Save".

You are in the right place to get advice on the functioning of claws mail - there are many users here.

Re: How do I get the 'Active' Icon markers back in the TaskBar/Panel on Cinnamon?

The icon underline is part of the theme you are using. Perhaps you changed it. To get a red underline go to System Settings, Themes, Desktop and click on the current Theme. A page of themes will display and any that show a red or pink theme will also show the red underline for the icon of the curren...

Re: cd/dvd tray opens and closes during boot after kernel update

I was using kernel 5.4.0-81 without any problems. An update to kernel 5.4.0-84 introduced one of my optical drive trays opening after a key stroke to wake from suspend. Reverting to the previously used kernel 5.4.0-81 stopped that occurring. In order to use the updated kernel 5.4.0-84, I used the fi...

However, that has to be done via the boot options screen and accessing that varies from one laptop to another so you will have to do some research. You can also do this via a full access to the BIOS.
