I added the configuration suggested above to about:config, but it did not correct the problem. Can anyone help? I'm on Thunderbird version 12.0.1 (the current standard for Natty, recently auto-upgraded from 3.x).
> I believe others may find the current behavior confusing, especially if upgrading to Precise from an older release. You are correct. I was very confused after following the recommended upgrade of my Natty Desktop to 2.6.38-15-generic. I had always counted on that blue envelope to know when I had new email. I was missing important emails and have had to change my email checking habits. See https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/indicator- messages/+bug/957922 for other reports. I feel this issue is not "invalid". I think the development process was invalid which decided to change a long standing behavior without consideration of the users who had grown accustomed to it.
