I wanted to start a discussion before filing it as a bug or idea . Anyone with me ?


I can understand your point of view. But I think it's important to show people that the message menu is not simply an email notifier. Do you have any suggestions on how we can reduce the clutter in the menus, and still show users the things it supports?

Well I say leave one entery per inactive service , so that they are visible/configurable , but still don't interfere . For example when only mail's active:

Messages:
>Chat
>Broadcast
>Mail
>Compose email
>Contacts
>Inbox(n)
>Clear

When mail's inactive (I'm not really sure how that will be indicated but still - here's the idea) - have it be minimalistic (to have only one entery ">Mail" ) . When chat is configured - have it's features appear , and so on ..

And for Ubuntu One - I'm pretty sure its place isn't in the Messages menu .
