I'm wondering how it's possible to remove the little mail indicator applet in the global menu. I've uninstalled all the programs that use it, like Thunderbird, Empathy, and Gwibber, since I don't use any of them, but the icon is still there.

Any ideas?

You can remove the message indicator by removing the indicator-messages package. You can remove it by either searching for it in the software center, or by executing the following command:

sudo apt-get remove indicator-messages

Then log out and back in.

Thank you for the the quick answer, and it worked perfectly. I'll make a separate question about the Bluetooth now. – Icedrake Oct 13 '11 at 22:22
@Jorge: Thanks for answer. Was having the same problem and it also worked for me. However it seems i also lost the icon of f.lux that was there. Is there any way to get it back? – radek Oct 29 '11 at 18:47
@radek ask a new question about that please – Jorge Castro Oct 29 '11 at 19:32
@JorgeCastro: Reinstalation of f.lux sorted out the problem so not sure if that would qualify as question. Still puzzled tho why it disappeared? – radek Oct 30 '11 at 0:57
