Under in my screen in Thunderbird I always could see the progress and how many mails are coming in. I can't find this option anymore. Where is it hidden , or how can I get this option back on screen?

I had same issue with Thunderbird and server messages not showing up when you send or receive e-mail at bottom of screen. I had a plugin that was installed called "Test Pilot 1.3.9" I uninstalled it and my status bar is now working.

Using add block plus? It interferes with the updating of the status bar

Could this be an issue with how the add ons work with Thunderbird. First time around in troubleshooting I removed the test pilot program and my status bar started working again. I close Thunderbird and reopen and status bar is not working again. it seems if i disable and re enable ad-block plus the status bar is working properly for the session/until Thunderbird is closed/reopened.

If you keep re-enabling adblocker plus you are going to continue to have the problem. This add on is broken.

I did not think you knew what you were talking about when you started a new thread complaining about Test Pilot.

This happened initially when I removed the Test Pilot program the status bar started working. Then i disabled and re enabled ad block plus and it did the same thing. i think this is more of an issue on how the add on part of Thunderbird works with the UI part. I don't think it is ad block plus as it works sometimes and sometimes it doesn't.

It is an issue with addblocker. A known bug in the add-on, so please don't keep telling us it is this or it is that to do with Thunderbird.

Have a look on the add block support forum,. Lots of discussion there about the issue and how to modify add blocker to work around the bug.
