I have the same issue and now with my last update of ubuntu 13.04 the claws-mail tray icon disappeared too apparently because the system tray whitelist (set to 'all') does not work anymore. currently there is no visual indication that I have new mail waiting. I have to go to claws- mail and check there. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to thunderbird in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/540953 Title: Indicator applet does not honor preferred email client Status in Indicator Applet: Invalid Status in The Messaging Menu: Confirmed Status in “indicator-messages” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “thunderbird” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I installed Claws-Mail and set it as my Preferred Application's Mail Reader. However the indicator applet's mail icon never reacts to new messages, and still wants to start up Evolution for both Mail and Compose New Message. I can understand if Claws has to be modified to update the indicator applet's mail icon, but the applet should honor my selection of Claws as my preferred mail reader. That, or there should be a way to inhibit the mail icon from my top panel. Since I still want audio control up there, I can't just remove the indicator panel altogether, but as it is now, the mail icon is pretty useless and very annoying!
