Hello,

I use seturgent tool from Evil_Bob (#suckleess), works very well for me.

http://www.codemadness.nl/downloads/projects/seturgent

For example, to get thunderbird window id:

Window id can be decimal or hex.

$ xwininfo -root -tree | awk '/Inbox.*Mozilla Thunderbird/'
0x2000071

(dwm will show tag as urgent)

$ seturgent 0x2000071

Using an addon for thunderbird like email alerter, shows a urgent tag
when a new mail arrived.

You can also use latest version of suckless lsw to get windows id. It's
very handy for scripting etc.
