Indicator-Messages should turn blue when receiving a chat message in Thunderbird

[Yann Dìnendal]

Thunderbird already turns the indicator-message icon blue when receiving new mail (Bug 957922).
It should also turn blue for new messages.
This is currently a default feature in Aurora (and maybe Beta now), but not very useful without notifications.

Sorry if I'm mistaken, but what's the difference between new mail and new messages>

[Yann Dìnendal (yannbreliere)]

No, there is a new chat feature coming in Thunderbird (currently in thunderbird 13 beta).
But it is not integrated to the messaging menu.

[Bilal Akhtar (bilalakhtar)]

That is blocked on Ubuntu's thunderbird getting that feature first.

[Lars Karlitski (larsu)]

This has to be implemented in thunderbird, not in the messaging menu. Closing the messaging menu tasks.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.
