Config file info you can import to enable the correct docs:

Is there an overview or inventory which addons Cinnamon desktop are already compatible with Cinnamon 5.4

I'd say a majority work unchanged, a lot of effort went into making this possible. Try them and see.

Sorting by Date in the download pages will help as well.

Something must have gone awry with my recent comments, so, here we go again.

Mailnag does not work in LM 21. It does work, however, in LMDE 5.

In LM 21, regardless of uninstalling mailnag as well as the daemon and then re-installing both, it no longer functions. Configuration do take effect but there is no communication between the applet and the mail server.
