Bug Description
As Gnome Shell notification subsystem have more features than notifications in Unity, integration needs to be improved.
Currently, in artful and bionic, Thunderbird notifications have two issues:
1. On lock screen, Thunderbird always show "1 new notification" even multiple mails arrived while screen locked.
2. Thunderbird should withdrawal notifications, if message was viewed and marked as read on another device (for IMAP only).

I was able to reproduce both of these bugs on Bionic Daily.
1. I received 2 emails simultaneously but only received one notification on my lock screen. This is expected as Thunderbird only has one notification which states you have 2 emails so the lock screen is right.
2. I read these emails on another device and confirm that although thunderbird marks them correctly as read in the client, the notification remains on the lock screen.
