Adding alert buttons in Thunderbird

After the alert button is created, download the installation file to your device. To add the button to Thunderbird, open the Extensions and Themes settings and upload the installation file as a custom plug-in.

This process requires Read/Write Mailbox permissions for your email client. The images in the following task are based on Thunderbird for desktop v 78.12.0. The user interface may look different than the one you are using. For more information, please refer to the product documentation.
