You could also create a new boolean entry in about:config
if you want the icon to turn blue for all messages, we have an
about:config pref for that.
Chris, could you please post the name of the config option that you
refer to?
I tried the following ones and none helped:
mail.biff.animate_dock_icon; true
mail.imap.use_status_for_biff;false
Thanks
This seems like an anti-feature.
In my personal case, no message received through Thunderbird lacks
importance. Since I hide the launcher by default, many mails go
unnoticed for a time and I find myself randomly mousing over the
launcher to check mails.
If anyone would be so kind as to _hint_
For me it was also confusing to me that the Indicator-messages-icon doesn't
turn blue anymore in Precise when I receive new mails.
If there is any way to turn the blue icon on for all new mails (e.g. the
mentioned about:config setting, couldn't find it by myself so far), I would be

I wish message indicator turn blue for ALL new emails, how can I switch

Thunderbird actually does turn the icon blue already, but not for all

however, I think we need a toggle which lets me flag the people who I

Thunderbird actually does turn the icon blue already, but not for all
messages. The reason for this is people complained to me in Oneiric that
the icon was being turned blue far too much. In fact, for some people
