Re: Thunderbird needs tighter panel integration

 

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.

At present, the only use for the mail icon in the panel is to set up
thunderbird (for email anyway). Once an account has been set up, it
would be useful for thunderbird to check emails in the background, and
turn blue when new emails are available. This would mean the user does
not need to keep thunderbird open to check emails and justify the use of
a mail icon in the panel.

It should at least list the accounts that have already been set up,
rather than just showing 'set up mail'.

It shouldn't show "Set Up Mail" when you already have. If it does,
please report a bug.
