Hi, Bob:

Tonequilla looks like a very useful add-on, but it appears it's been unsupported for some time, and new versions of Thunderbird have a different API it won't work with.

The only suggestion I could find online was to consider "Mailbox Alert" (https://addons.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/addon/mailbox-alert/)

Mailbox Alert doesn't work the same way as Tonequilla, but it appears if you wanted to set up filters to save specific email senders into their own folders, Mailbox Alert would let you set up different sounds for them. That might be a big disruption to your workflow.

Haven't tried it, just found the clues on the internet.

Hope that helps.

I have used Thunderbird with an add-on that enabled the use of recorded
voice announcements identifying incoming messages so that I did not have
to come back upstairs to the computer to determine what it was. The
upgrade to Fedora-30 requires the use of a Thunderbird version that no
longer supports the add-on [Tonequilla]. Until now I dnf downgraded
Thunderbird and then the add-on could be installed, now downgrade gets
Thunderbird 60.6.1 (64-bit) for which the add-on is disabled and not
available.

Is there another way to accomplish this, a way to make a unique sound
for incoming email message addresses?
