Working temporary solution for 14.04.2 MATE is below.
In brief:
1. install indicator stuff (libindicate-gtk3, libindicate5, python-indicate, python-support).
2. get old packages from Ubuntu 12.04 (libindicator-messages-status-provider1, indicator-messages, indicator-messages-gtk2).
3. test with Popper (https://launchpad.net/~ralf.hersel/+archive/ubuntu/rhersel-ppa).


### for 14.04 MATE
sudo apt-get install libindicate-gtk3 libindicate5 python-indicate python-support

cd ~/Downloads
wget http://ppa.launchpad.net/ralf.hersel/rhersel-ppa/ubuntu/pool/main/p/popper/popper_0.31.3-0ubuntu1_all.deb
sudo dpkg -i popper_0.31.3-0ubuntu1_all.deb 

wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/i/indicator-messages/libindicator-messages-status-provider1_0.6.0-0ubuntu2_i386.deb
sudo dpkg -i libindicator-messages-status-provider1_0.6.0-0ubuntu2_i386.deb

wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/i/indicator-messages/indicator-messages_0.6.0-0ubuntu2_i386.deb
sudo dpkg -i indicator-messages_0.6.0-0ubuntu2_i386.deb

wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/i/indicator-messages/indicator-messages-gtk2_0.6.0-0ubuntu2_i386.deb
sudo dpkg -i indicator-messages-gtk2_0.6.0-0ubuntu2_i386.deb

Go to Applications -> Internet -> Popper (or launch popper-config).
Popper will work, check and indicate new e-mails as on Ubuntu 12.04.5 LTS.

Title:
  indicator-messages is not shown in mate-panel on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS MATE
  and 16.04 LTS MATE

Bug description:
  it is known that messaging menu returned in Ubuntu MATE 16.10 (https
  ://ubuntu-mate.community/t/messaging-menu-is-making-a-return-
  in-16-10/7268/9), but there is no such menu in Ubuntu 16.04 LTS MATE
  even with ppa:ubuntu-mate-dev/xenial-mate enabled.

  Steps to reproduce:
  1a. Install Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS MATE (https://ubuntu-mate.org/trusty/).
  1b. Install Ubuntu 16.04 LTS MATE.

  
  2. Install 'indicator-applet-complete' and 'indicator-messages' packages
  3. Add Indicator Applet Complete to the mate-panel.
  4a. Launch Thunderbird - this should enable Envelope/Letter icon in 'mate-panel'
  4b. Launch Thunderbird - this should enable Envelope/Letter icon in 'mate-panel' and set corresponding config (check with "dconf read /com/canonical/indicator/messages/applications" = "['thunderbird.desktop']").

  Expected results:
  Envelope/Letter ('indicator-messages') icon is shown in 'indicator-applet-complete' inside 'mate-panel' and is usable by Thunderbird or mailnag.

  Actual results:
  Envelope/Letter ('indicator-messages') is not shown and is not usable.
