Hm... the progress seems to have stalled. Meanwhile, the default Thunderbird 17 on Ubuntu does not light up the blue envelope for meeting invites (!) nor any kind of mail that is relevant to me and I've been CC'd on.

@Tom, thanks for the patch. Note, that this addon has gone through quite a bit of refactoring over the last couple of days.

[Bug 957922] Re: Thunderbird's messaging menu highlight helps some people but not many
I have a global inbox, three email addresses, and some 30 filters that sort my email into some 20 folders under my inbox. In Oneiric, the messaging messaging shows all new mail in the inbox and its subfolders, and reports which subfolder the messages are in. That's extremely handy for me. By comparison, in Precise, the messaging menu is not helpful. I have made the recommended fix (extensions.messagingmenu.attentionForAll, true) but even with that, the messaging menu is only reporting only those messages that end up in the Inbox; messages that get sorted into the Indox's subfolders don't get reported in the messaging menu and don't show up in the count on the launcher. Personally, it'd be very helpful to me if the messaging menu would report emails the way it did/does in Oneiric. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/957922 Title: Thunderbird's messaging menu highlight helps some people but not many To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ayatana-design/+bug/957922/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 957922] Re: Thunderbird's messaging menu highlight helps some people but not many
The more complex the settings, the more people they'll be ideal for, but the fewer people will understand them to use them in the first place. I think we should aim for no more than about three or four possibilities. Here's a first draft: [/] Show in the messaging menu: (*) Any message ( ) Any personal message (Messages not marked as automated, where I’m in the To: field) ( ) Any personal message from someone in my Address Book Messages flagged by a filter will always be shown. Probably we should default to the first setting -- not because it will be appropriate for most people, necessarily, but because the sort of people for whom every message is exciting are likely to be the same people who never find their way into the Preferences. The second option would differ from the current default in that it doesn't pay attention to Priority, and it would include messages that were CCed to a mailing list but To: you.

[Bug 957922] Re: Thunderbird's messaging menu highlight helps some people but not many
Please provide some more flexibility. The people who find their way into the preferences are likely to want more freedom in the way their messages are filtered. For instance, an extra Priority-based criterion (e.g. Do not show low priority messages as an additional entry) could be a simple way to allow further customization without adding too much clutter. In fact I can define a filter in Thunderbird that lowers the priority of messages I consider unimportant, so they don't activate the messaging icon. This already works fine for me with the current default. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/957922 Title: Thunderbird's messaging menu highlight helps some people but not many To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ayatana-design/+bug/957922/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
