I don't have a problem with that, although it will be interesting to see how much traction you get from the various messaging apps, not all of which are written specifically for Ubuntu.

Aha! And this is the nature of the bug as I see it. I do not HAVE a message of any kind, but I still have the e-mail icon. Please switch to some other icon when there ARE NO MESSAGES, and I'll be satisfied.
