[Bug 886907] Re: Messaging Menu and Unity launcher don't display unread messages count from Thunderbird

Sun Nov 6 20:11:44 UTC 2011

** Description changed:

  I made a clean install of Oneiric (64bits edition) using all defaults options and now, when I receive new messages in Thunderbird, the letter from the Messaging Menu doesn't turn blue and I don't have any update of the message count in the Menu either.
  This was working fine previously when I was running Natty. I use two e-mail accounts which both use the IMAP protocols.

- The only three fields visible in the Messaging Menu, in the e-mail part, are : Mail, Compose New Message and Contacts which works as they should be.
+ The only three fields visible in the Messaging Menu, in the e-mail part, are : Mail, Compose New Message and Contacts which work as they should be.
  Whether I enable the Messaging Menu and Unity Integration Add-on in Thunderbird or not, the problem is still here.
  In the other hand, the on-screen notifications work perfectly.

  I also discovered that the Thunderbird Unity launcher might also display
  unread messages count. If this is the case, it not working either.

  While looking for such an already described bug in launchpad, I found bug #850229 being similar but not identical. I think the bug I report here might be different because i) I never have any update on the Unity launcher and ii) I don't have any update either of the unread messages count in the messaging menu. I think the case of bug #850229 was related to a wrong value of unread messages and not to the total absence of this value.
  In the discussion about bug #850299, comment #4 seems to correspond to the bug I report here.
