No "New Mail" icon in my task bar.

Since I've had this Windows 10 computer, I never see the "Unread Mail" icon in my task bar. If I step away from the computer, the only way I know that I have mail is to switch from whatever I am doing, which is annoying. I got around it by using the Unread Badge add-on, but it no longer works with Thunderbird 78.2.2.

I can live without the add-on working if I get the mail icon in my taskbar.

W10 Settings, Personalization, Taskbar, Notification area, Select which icons appear on the taskbar. Is TB turned ON?

It was, but I went in, turned it off and on again. It seems to work now. Thanx.
