Hey Vish and other,
As told in https://lists.launchpad.net/ayatana/msg04544.html, we
discussed that behavior at last UDS and it seems that emails shouldn't
be seen as a service. mpt will be able to develop it a little bit more
right now.

That's the only reason I didn't merge that branch in evolution-indicator
now that the merge request is filed.
