Re: Messaging Menu

 

The messaging menu is not very useful at the moment as geary does not use it to display unread mails.
I have been using luna beta for 2 months and geary is the least useful app IMO as it does not notify of new email, i tried replying using it but didnt like it.
I am pro notification center for L+1 but till then we should keep the messaging menu and persuade Yorba people to support background email check and notification via messaging menu.

Ubuntu has crammed too many things in it, and the urgent response demanded by chat is very different from the simple notification of new email (leading to the envelope being blue permanently). It's also very hard to hit the button; I often end up clicking the battery indicator.
