I don't get that "service" VS "non-service" thing... for example, I fully expect my mail app to be a "service-like" application. I don't want to open the whole mail client "just to see if I got mail", nor do i want to have it open at all times "just in case I recieve mail".  I want to be notified when mail arrives, an then if I decide to go read it, let's go and open the application.  Same thing for gwibber and empathy, and liferea.  If something arrives, then notify me, then I'll decide if I want to open the app to read it or not.  Having 4 applications open, laying in memory and on my desktop "just in case something arrives" is a waste in my opinion, as well as having all of them closed, but having to open each one to update them.  You guys provided people some ways to update their status / send e-mails without having to have the client open (me-menu/messaging menu), why not continue that way and allow people to be notified about what they recieve the same way?  That would make the whole experience a real nice one.

I'm not a designer, this is just my 2 cents, I hope it'll help!

I agree too. I think it's the most coherent behavior for apps on Me Menu and it's more easy to up to date with our incoming mails.
