Title:
  Thunderbird steals focus too often

Status in thunderbird package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: thunderbird

  Thunderbird constantly steals focus, which is annoying for several reasons: 
  1. it disrupts the current activity
  2. when thunderbird is running in another desktop, it is difficult to understand what is happening.

  Disruption windows (popups) include e.g. "Domain name mismatch", or
  "failed to connect to server."

  As I understand, such popups make sense if the user updates the
  mailbox actively. However, they should be disabled when mailboxes are
  updated automatically, since these problems do not require immediate
  attention.

  System: Ubuntu 9.10
  thunderbird:
    Installed: 2.0.0.23+build1+nobinonly-0ubuntu1
