(Dual monitor question) How to "tell" Thunderbird to display 'New email' notifications on main monitor?

I have one monitor (ext. screen) over the other (laptop's) and every time I receive an email notification, the window is displayed on the laptop's screen which is closed. Is there a way to fix this?

 

if your laptop screen is closed....don't use dual display but instead just configure for one monitor? that's what i would do. that way everything is just displayed on your one monitor

 

You can also use "Clone" mode.

 

But that doesn't fix the problem. I want to be able to switch from a one-monitor set-up to a dual-monitor set-up.

 

You can toggle the mode when you need it, so use clone when you have it closed then swap it back to extended desktop when you want to use both. That would be the most forward and easy way to fix it.

The only other thing I can think of is to find a way to make your external monitor the "main" desktop and the laptop the extended. The program is programed to open in that area so unless you know some programing I dont think you can change it.

 

The external monitor IS the main monitor for everything except Thunderbird's notification window, so I'm guessing modifying Thunderbird's settings might do the trick.

I didn't want to swap between modes because everytime I do that, I have to re-arrange the position of the screens from the Graphic Properties window thingie and that takes a while. Thanks anyway.
