Is there a way to add Mozilla Thunderbird to the messaging menu?

Hi,

After installing ubuntu I setup my email in evolution, which is fine but on balance I prefer Thunderbird so I installed and set that up.

Under preferred applications I have set the mail to Thunderbird, but when I click on the icon in the top right (the mail envelope) and select mail it still loads evolution.

Is there a way to switch this to Thunderbird?

Answer 1

There is an extension that let's Thunderbird use the message indicator in Ubuntu:

But it will not delete the evolution entry, to do that you need to remove /usr/share/indicators/messages/applications/evolution
