TB91 notification icon functionality

I have several (pop) mail accounts and whenever a mail (for any account) would arrive on the server a notification icon would appear telling me for which account and how many. My machine is Win10. Since the automatic upgrade to TB91 this functionality has disappeared and now all that remains is a TB icon with a red dot telling me there are nn unread messages, leaving me to guess for which account(s). Can this be fixed in an early update?

(The problem is similar to Q1353312 but I did not want to join the mudthrowing...)

I don't know about a notification icon that not only alerted you of new mail, but also showed the account that got new mail and their count. Was that provided by a third-party add-on?

I indeed had an add-on active (Mailbox Alert) but as far as I know that did not do anything to the notification icon. I now disabled it but no difference (as to be expected?)

You need to contach the add-on's author then, as they say:

Additionally, while I haven't spent much time on it lately, please send bug reports to me directly. A negative review is fine, but I cannot engage to get bugs fixed through reviews :)
