Hey, I could always use more education myself. I never did get around to dealing with the RaspBerry Pi here. I was going to use it as a remote SDR machine (there are a couple of cheap dongles with SDR functionality that never would work in windows, so why not in linux using a Raspian based machine?).

Anyway, I can still help out if needed.

Hey, these things happen. :)

Btw, speaking of tech support, does anyone have a need for someone who can manage a few systems? I can bring my own access technology if needed. I am finding myself in a bit of a financial swamp right now (more like I am in over my head) and an extra $500 a month would go a long way toward getting me clear of the issues. The only hitch is how it’s going to affect my disability payments. However, if it turns into a full time position that pays much better than I get now (which is about $10k/year) it could relieve a lot of stress.

I could work from the telephone if need be.

Anyway, if anyone has a good idea for this blind technologist, I’m game.

Thanks, Eric.

Your comments led me to follow several angles, but nothing worked. But it steered me in a direction that got past the error.

At one point I bought Growl but found that the link for Thunderbird is locked out.

Then I found a page about Mozilla logging:


I ran Thunderbird from the command line to turn on logging.

It didn’t log anything, just a start-up message, but Thunderbird did not have the error in that mode.  I finished moving my emails to the Zoho account.

So, thanks for the support. You sort of nudged me towards a solution. I guess I’ll never know what the complaint was from Zoho.

Check for notifications in the system preferences. There’s a notifications preferences pane and in there will be the apps that have accessed it. You can also change the amount of time that the message will display.

Btw, I have the same issue when trying to read notifications with the screen reader.

Btw, you can also try control+option+F1 and see if the notifications show up in there (they do on my high Sierra system).

Using Thunderbird on my Macbook.
It has my old and new accounts.
I have been moving old messages from Yahoo to Zoho.

Some moves don’t work, and I get a notification in a little bubble that appears fleetingly in the upper right-hand corner, something like a notice of an incoming email.

The notice appears within a couple of seconds, and the punch line of the message does not fit in the message bubble.
Clicking on the bubble just makes it disappear more quickly.

So my question: where do I find the complete message?
I looked around for logs, but can’t find them.

Thanks,
Victor
