Bug Description

Binary package hint: mail-notification

I like to keep the notifier displayed, but the no-mail icon (featuring the in-tray and an arrow pointing into it) looks out of place compared to the other icons on my toolbar.

(As an alternative, I think I'd prefer a "ghosted" version of the normal envelope when everything's ok, and an envelope with a little exclamation point on it for the error state.)

I am now complaining about this. Would you believe they have not changed that icon (that only a mother could love) yet. It's horrendous.

@sefs

come on, eventhough you dont think the icon looks good, this is certainly not the right way to express your opinion. Just look at http://www.ubuntu.com/community/conduct
