I've been looking for an answer to this for weeks and figured I might just ask the question directly.

I'm using Thunderbird 102.6.1 on Windows 10. I'm looking to replace the "standard" Thunderbird agenda popups (see screenshot below) with a "native" system notification such as for Windows 10 Calendar (see 2nd screenshot below). This is mainly because the TB agenda popup steals focus from other apps and I often end up typing on that window instead of the one I was previously writing on, which is frustrating.

I know this is possible for email notifications and I've already enabled that in the TB options, however I couldn't find the equivalent for agenda alerts.

Thanks in advance for your help! Cheers

There are two things here. The popup is called “reminder” while the native notification is called “notification” in Thunderbird settings.

So you should uncheck “Show reminders” option, and ensure that notifications are defined somewhere. This can be done globally or at each calendar level.

Global settings are in Thunderbird calendar settings (version 102 here):

Calendar specific settings are accessible by double-clicking on the calendar :
