I don't think this is a duplicate of the bug #1047809. That bug refers to windows not getting focus when they are in the same Virtual Desktop.
In my case they do pop up and get focus when in the same desktop.

But if the window is in some other desktop, clicking on the envelope
doesn't bring my window in or move my desktop to the correct one.

Title:
  When clicking an item from the messaging menu, it doesn't changes
  virtual desktop

Status in The Messaging Menu:
  Confirmed
Status in Mozilla Thunderbird Mail and News:
  New

Bug description:
  I have a virtual desktop assigned only for IM, and when I'm working on something else and someone sends me a message, the messaging menu turns blue. 
  I then click on the messaging menu and on the name of my contact, the window is selected, but I can't see it because it is in the other virtual desktop.

  So I have to manually move to my IM virtual desktop or click on the Unity icon for that window to actually see the message.
  The messaging menu should work the same as the Unity bar to bring focus to the IM window and move to the virtual desktop where it sits.
