Email Notification Support

@Daniel you'd need to send yourself notifications too, alternatively there's pictures of what it looks like
In fact you've reminded me, @julian thunderbird treats reset emails as a scam as it contains a hyperlink, they still send, but some may drop them in spam immediately. Might be worth testing if you know anyone other than me that uses mozilla thunderbird.

Eh, that sort of behaviour is why we use third-party emailers... if Thunderbird is that paranoid, I'm afraid there's not much we can do

Thanks for the link @a_5mith! Going to work on this shortly...
Edit: What really boggles my mind is that Thunderbird/Outlook seem to think that an anchor with a URL as the text is more dangerous than one with any other kind of text... I suppose there's a smidge of a chance that you can trick somebody with a specially crafted url, but that happens with all anchors really...

@scottalanmiller It still gets security updates, but it's not really being worked on by Mozilla team anymore.

That's a shame, really, because Outlook (and Outlook Express) was just so terrible at managing email. I got my parents switched off of that years ago though, so haven't looked at Thunderbird since.
These days nearly everyone uses web mail. Whether it is Zimbra or OWA, the quality of webmail has gotten so good that rarely do you want to do anything else except on your mobile devices. And if you want to go offline, Exchange uses to expect to go to Outlook and Zimbra has its own client too. The number of "working offline on non-mobile devices IMAP users" are dwindling. Thunderbird and Evolution cover that gap pretty well.
