[Carl Ansell <afccarl1994@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks, I found a bug report on this and the bug has since been fixed. 
It now also notifies me of new messages and turns the envelope blue. 
However, I still need to have Thunderbird open for this to work, which 
makes it a bit pointless as the Unity launcher has the counter to also 
alert me of new messages.

This is why I propose that Thunderbird should be allowed to run as a 
background process to check for messages, so that the Thunderbird window 
does not need to be constantly open.
