This is my current messaging menu layout in Ubuntu 12.10:

My Messaging Menu Layout

I was wondering is there a way to change the list? I would rather have Thunderbird moved to the bottom. I tried uninstalling Thunderbird, which removed it from the list, but when I reinstalled it Thunderbird went back into that position. It seems the layout is set as you set-up the applications the first time which made me think there is something somewhere which defines how they are ordered in the list.

Any help would be great!

Reset to default

Well, I found an easy way.

Open Dconf Editor, go to com > canonical > indicator > messages. You can change the order of applications there or even remove something.

Re-arrange messaging menu

Then, you should restart unity to changes take effect. So simply logout and login again, or press Alt+F2 and run unity --replace. The result is this:

Re-arrange messagin menu - result

Notice: If you disable all the online accounts associated with Empathy, the settings will be reset to the previous state; so to keep current arrangement, always keep at least one account enabled.
