[Bug 376715] Re: Thunderbird - feature request - nest in toolbar

[afrodeity]

I can't seem to find mozilla-traybiff-common in the repository.  Do I
need to add a software source?

Are you referring perhaps to Firetray? https://addons.mozilla.org/en-
US/firefox/addon/4868 Firetray doesn't work for me since it won't allow
you to be notified of incoming mail while thunderbird is closed.  Yes
this is the criteria and nux of the problem. Firetray is a bad solution
because it merely starts thunderbird minimised and maintains the idea
that nothing needs to be changed in Thunderbird.

Keeping Thunderbird running, and out of the way, nested, is a good idea.
Reason is pretty obvious -- you will be alerted whenever new mail
arrives, the minute it arrives, saving you time and energy and avoids
the open-quit-open-quit syndrome. Also, an email programme shouldn't
take up so much desktop attention and space, but rather operate in the
background, only coming up when needed.

This flaw is common to a lot of programmes in Ubuntu, and I am in the
process of motivating for some form of shared design specifications or
common resources on Brainstorm that will give Ubuntu users a better
experience.

If this makes it into Karmic, I would consider it real good Karma.
