There's currently no UI to remove applications from the messaging menu. Thunderbird should do this by itself when you remove its last account.
You can remove it by changing the "applications" gsettings key in com.canonical.indicator.messages either in dconf-editor or with this command: gsettings set com.canonical.indicator.messages applications [] Note that this removes all applications from the messaging menu. ** Package changed: indicator-messages (Ubuntu) => thunderbird (Ubuntu) -- 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/1314967 Title: Thunderbird entry persist in indicator-messages menu with no email account configured Status in “thunderbird” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: On Thunderbird startup the Thunderbird menu entry was created within indicator-messages notification envelop even though I had closed the Thunderbird application right off without configuring any email accounts. It turned out that thunderbird had created a new user regardless so I went off and removed the entire ~/.thunderbird directory as well as ~/.cache/thunderbird and restarted the indicator- messages-service. The thunderbird entry still persist in the menu with no apparent way to remove it from there. Logging off and back on does not help. I conclude that this must be a bug displaying the menu entry for application that is not being set up. In particular, there should be no Thunderbird entry in the indicator-messages menu provided there is no ~/.thunderbird/<thunderbird_user> directory exists. At the very minimum there should be a per user configuration file to alter the menu entries manually. And perhaps right clickable menu entries to choose an action. At least some way to remove entries that should not be there.
