To those who haven't gotten their Webmail working yet, I think the difference in what works and what doesn't might be in the extensions themselves. I now have Webmail Notifier 2.7.6 but what I had before was a different Webmail extension, which also had to have the Yahoo Webmail extension in order to work. This Webmail Notifier does away with all the extra account settings, just as AngelRicardo has been saying. I don't even recall the exact name of the previous Webmail extension, but I do know it had to have two different extensions installed, and it required accounts to be set up in Thunderbird. The new Webmail Notifier is much easier and it brings up the webmail right inside a tab on Thunderbird.
