I should clarify that this aspect of it - simply adding thunderbird menu items to the applet menu - need not wait for further upstream changes / 3.1; it could be merged to the debian package now to save several predicted forum threads :-)
Naturally the patch makes no changes to the lack of applet-managed notifications when thunderbird has new messages, that's a different matter, that refers upstream
