Got this from Clemens W: Possible workaround: If you're using a window manager with workspaces and if you can live with Thunderbird sitting on its own workspace, maybe devilspie is a solution for you!
Example configuration file: ; ~/.devilspie/thunderbird.ds ( if ( is ( application_name ) "Thunderbird" ) ( begin ( maximize ) ( skip_tasklist ) ( set_workspace 2 ) ) ) -- 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/376715 Title: Thunderbird - feature request - nest in toolbar Status in Mozilla Thunderbird: Won't Fix Status in thunderbird package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Binary package hint: mozilla-thunderbird Thunderbird should nest in the toolbar. Instead I keep quitting and having to restart the application. So the email reporting feature doesn't work etc. This feature is common in Amarok and Transmission Bit-Torrent.
