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

[Julien Olivier]

For me, what's really important is that Evolution is launched
automatically on startup, like gwibber and empathy, and that "closing"
it keeps it alive so that you can still get mail notification. I doubt
Unity can do all that without a patched indicator-applet, but I could be
wrong.

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:
