Hi. Ubuntu 64x, thunderbird 52.9.1 64x In the taskbar there is an icon in the form of a envelope, but it is not updated in real time. Tell me how to start the client as a daemon. Please.

You might need to give a little more information.

What version of Ubuntu? 18.04? What desktop? Unity? Gnome? Budgie? KDE?

I’m using Ubuntu 18.04 with Budgie desktop and using Plank as the ‘dock’. I assume this is what you mean by toolbar (everybody calls it something different). The Thunderbird icon does show a number and it does seem to update in real time. Budgie panel, on the other hand, doesn’t support this at all — no number at all.

The problem is probably with a particular desktop not supporting those dynamic updates, so running Thunderbird as a daemon would make no difference. It would also be a bad idea as it’s not designed for that.
