I don't care if we're "annoying the developers". To me it sounds like the whole reason they hadn't worked on this in the first place is a lack of understanding that a mail notifier is an extremely important feature to MANY users.
The issue is Ubuntu has made an Empathy to be the default client, and if the developers can't handle a few requests to improve their software then why are they "developing" in the first place? I find it hard to believe they only want to spend their valuable time fixing bugs, instead of making an inferior product truly ready for the open market.
