[Bug 808777] Re: Determine if / how we should switch workspaces when focusing Thunderbird

[SRoesgen]

Well,
in my opinion it is perhaps not the best idea to cite Evolution and argument that a requested feature in not implemented in Evolution, too. If you want the feature list of Evolution as your personal guideline, then perhaps you should think about the fact that Exchange support is still not present in Thunderbird. Still, hopefully Thunderbird will replace Evolution.

The fact that Evolution has a specific feature or rather, as in this
case, the fact that it has NOT the given feature is not in any way an
argument for not implementing this feature in Thunderbird.

It is highly confusing to click on an menu entry and nothing is
happening. Furthermore, clicking on the launcher symbol of Thunderbird
will always focus the Tbird window. Why not the same about the Messaging
Menu entry?

Is it so hard to imagine what a normal every day user will expect from clicking on a menu entry? Well, I hope we agree that this normal user will at least expect *some* reaction when clicking on the entry. Doing nothing is certainly never the best way for offering a menu entry. 
Certainly, there is the possibility to create menus with dozens of entries which all will do nothing, but hopefully this is not the intention here. One entry which sometimes does not react when clicked is already producing enough confusion. 

Sorry, for being sarcastic here, but after the long and not very
fruitful discussion in bug 733349 I am not in the mood anymore to
discuss about things which, in my opinion, clearly have to be changed
because normal human reasoning demands them to be changed. And pointing
at another software's set of feature does not make my mood much better,
because simply Canonical employees are not considering this line of
argumentation valid I do not consider it valid, too. I mean saying  "in
software A or operation system B we also can find this feature",
seemingly is no argument at all for Canonical employees. So please do
not try to bring up this form of argument again. I suppose I will not be
the only Ubuntu user who will get very angry when hearing this argument;
especially after the way Canonical treats requests like the one
mentioned in the bug above.
