…o focus Apps such as Thunderbird should fetch emails and execute scheduled rules even when the window is not currently in focus or the system is locked. Hyprland (via the Wayland protocol ext-idle-notify-v1) marks the system as "idle" as soon as Thunderbird loses focus – Thunderbird sends no or weak inhibitor signals, so hypridle triggers the idle listeners and throttles/pauses processes (timers, IMAP queries). Adding: - ignore_wayland_inhibit = true: Ignores Wayland protocol idle inhibitors (e.g. from Firefox/Thunderbird), so that hypridle is always considered idle, regardless of what apps signal. - ignore_dbus_inhibit = true: Ignores DBus inhibit requests (e.g. systemd-inhibit --what=idle from Mozilla apps), preventing apps from blocking idle events. Result: hypridle ignores all "I'm active" signals from Thunderbird and maintains its timeout logic without pausing background processes. Thunderbird continues to run as expected.

Apps such as Thunderbird should fetch emails and execute scheduled rules even when the window is not currently in focus or the system is locked. With the old setting, apps like thunderbird fall asleep, when not in window focus or hyprland is locked.
Hyprland (via the Wayland protocol ext-idle-notify-v1) marks the system as "idle" as soon as Thunderbird loses focus – Thunderbird sends no or weak inhibitor signals, so hypridle triggers the idle listeners and throttles/pauses processes (timers, IMAP queries).

How Has This Been Tested?
[X ] Tested on Arch Linux/Based Distro.
start thunderbird
open console and enter
ps -C thunderbird -o timedifferent times (the Thunderbird window must not have the focus!)after some seconds, the value
TIMEno longer changes - Thunderbird is in freeze mode.point the focus to Thunderbird and do something with it
ps -C thunderbird -o timein your console again - the valueTIMEwill be higherWith this change, Thunderbird continues to work, even when the focus is not on it.
