Thunderbird New Email Visual Notification Stopped Working

I've used Thunderbird for decades. I have about a dozen email accounts I monitor. I leave my emails on the server until I click on "Get Message" and I download my emails to my PC.

I'm not sure if I accidentally changed a setting, but when an account detected a new email, I'm pretty sure it used to change the account name font color to blue so I knew that there was a message to retrieve. Now it doesn't do that anymore. I still get aural notifications, but I don't know which account they are associated with.

So the problem is, I'm getting emails and I don't know it because some of the accounts are used sparsely. I have to manually check all of my accounts all day long now.

Does anyone know if this is something Tbird changed or is there a setting I accidentally changed (and can change back)?
