Well I say leave one entery per inactive service , so that they are 
visible/configurable , but still don't interfere . For example when only 
mail's active:

Messages:
 >Chat
 >Broadcast
 >Mail
 >Compose email
 >Contacts
 >Inbox(n)
 >Clear

When mail's inactive (I'm not really sure how that will be indicated but 
still - here's the idea) - have it be minimalistic (to have only one 
entery ">Mail" ) . When chat is configured - have it's features appear , 
and so on ..

And for Ubuntu One - I'm pretty sure its place isn't in the Messages menu .
