Disable "Connection to server" timeout notification

Thunderbird Anpassen

I'm under a network that blocks Gmail. I have a gmail on my Thunderbird Windows 11 client.

When I do not use a VPN, I cannot access gmail. I have the VPN on and off during the day.

From time to time ThunderBird shows me a notification "Connection to server imap.gmail.com timed out". This notification is almost useless to me as I expect that connections to gmail fails. Meanwhile, it's distracting.

I'd like to turn of this notification without turning off notifications for new email and calendar events.

Unfortunately, I don't believe its possible to disable these types of notifications within Thunderbird. However, you can disable automatic checking for emails by going to Account Settings -> Server Settings and unchecking "Check for new messages at startup" and "Check for new messages every X minutes" for that account. You will have to manually check for emails when you are connected to the VPN, but it won't attempt to automatically check when disconnected from the VPN.
