I just tried arcterex's method with Thunderbird 7.0.1, and then sent myself a test message to see if the indicator would change when the email arrived, but it still did not work. Perhaps the problem lay in the fact I did not get a "setup mail" message in the indicator or elsewhere.

As you can see in the attached image, the messaging menu still thinks I have to configure my e-mail; but I have my Thunderbird fully set up and working. Clicking on "Configura email..." (Italian for "Set up email...") takes me correctly to Thunderbird, but still without seeing I have set it up.
