[Bug 460483] Re: The plugin should allow Evolution to close to the indicator-applet

[Geoff Goehle]

Julien:  New bug fixed...  You should be able to close message windows
(and hopefully any other "extra" windows) normally now.

As for the special flag, if only it were that simple.  The evolution
devs are pretty adamant about not adding a "windowless" mode to
evolution so there is no such flag.  Right now I am capturing the first
opened window and hiding it.  Thats working fine but on some machines
something else is causing it to reappear.

Bug description:
Among all applications currently integrated with the indicator-applet (Empathy/Pidgin, Evolution, Gwibber), Evolution is the only one without a close-to-tray functionality. This is inconsistent as it forces the user to leave it open in order to use the indicator-applet properly. Close-to-tray functionality has been implemented for Evolution before, so I guess it's possible:
