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

[Geoff Goehle]

Hey,  got a couple of emails about this, so I thought I would update on
the bug page.  There actually haven't been any bugs reported on the
project page and I haven't had or heard of any problems with the patched
code.  So I would say that the modified version of evolution-indicator
is more or less stable.  (I even managed to make it play nicely with the
clock applet).

On the other hand, since ubuntu is moving to unity next iteration I
don't think this patch will ever become a part of the official
repository.

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:
