Bug Description
I installed Claws-Mail and set it as my Preferred Application's Mail Reader. However the indicator applet's mail icon never reacts to new messages, and still wants to start up Evolution for both Mail and Compose New Message.
I can understand if Claws has to be modified to update the indicator applet's mail icon, but the applet should honor my selection of Claws as my preferred mail reader. That, or there should be a way to inhibit the mail icon from my top panel. Since I still want audio control up there, I can't just remove the indicator panel altogether, but as it is now, the mail icon is pretty useless and very annoying!

Having the same issue with Thunderbird. Even if the mail client does not support notifications indicator applet should still open the default client.
