provide support for thunderbird 5.0

Yes, I can confirm that not works with thunderbird-indicator v1.4

Yes, please update to work with TB5.0. Currently, the other option is the addon "Gnome Integration", but I like this one a lot better! Thanks!

Meanwhile you may try Thunderbird AppIndicator TB5 hack from ppa:boamaod/xul-ext-indicator

The notification bubbles work for me (ubuntu 11.04, gnome classic), there's also a working button for TB in messaging traymenu. However, the icon in systray does not change on new mail

forgot to write: I did the compatibility check-override in TB

Pushed a fix at the linked branch. The indicator works for me on Ubuntu 11.04, Unity. Testing will be useful, especially with an older version of TB.

With Ubuntu 10.04 and TB 5, the bubbles still work, but the icon still does not turn green. python-indicate is installed, but I don't see a package for notify-send with apt-get.

Can you provide a bit more context? Any error messages in the Error Console? Is there a TB section in the Indicator menu at all?

There is no error message in the Error Console. There is not TB section
in the Indicator menu and when the addon enabled only bubbles work, the
envelope doesn't change colour. When the TB updated after check of
addons TB says "this addon is not compatible for this version" and
disables it. Altuogh you can manually enable the addon above mentioned
problems occur.

Sorry for inconvenience. There is TB section in the indicator menu.
However, you don't see the accounts.

I think I managed to reproduce this. Does this happen when you already
have unread mail and then start TB/the plugin (no folders in the
indicator menu)? After that, if you receive a new message, the folders
get added and the mail icon changes color?
If this is the case, it is probably not hard to fix. I'll push a patch
in the next few days.

Yes, it happens when you already have unread e-mail. After receiving new
e-mail the folders don't get added and mail icon doesn't change colour.

My issues seem to occur regardless of whether or not I have any unread emails. I do have a few items in my error console that are related to tbindicator:

Error: this.indicatorStream is null
Source File: chrome://tbindicator/content/overlay.js
Line: 290

Error: Components.classes['@mozilla.org/extensions/manager;1'] is undefined
Source File: chrome://tbindicator/content/overlay.js
Line: 229

The first one is in there several times, perhaps once per email received.

As for the icon under the envelope button, I do have an icon there, but I think I set that up before installing your plugin. That icon has no arrow next to it while TB runs, unlike evolution (labelled "mail" in that list) which does have an arrow beside it while running.

How can i try the new fix released?

yea how do we actually use the fix?

Francios, Chris, I built an .xpi from the proposed fix (attached). You can install from Add-ons Manager -> (tool icon) -> "Install Add-on from File"

uberben, Egemen, I haven't managed to reproduce your issues.

Thank you skanev for the new version. My icon now turns green when I receive a new email. I am very happy with this functionality.

How it works for me right now is the envelope turns green when I get new mail. If I then open Thunderbird to read the email, the icon goes back to white. However, if I click on the icon when it is green in order to open Thunderbird, the icon goes back to white even though the message is still unread. While I can see this functionality being useful, I would appreciate an option in preferences that keeps the icon green as long as there are unread messages. Similarly, when I launch Thunderbird and there are already unread messages, it would be nice to have the option of making the icon green right away.

Thank you again for all your work on a great plugin.

uberben

works great thanks skanev!

side note: when i installed this xpi, it AUTOMATICALLY REMOVED another notification add-on "gnome integration". since when was this a feature? not that i mind... i was going to remove it, but it kinda seems anti-competitive

Thank you very much Skanev for the efforts and this great add-on. Now my
envelope icon turns into blue when I receive an e-mail and I see
notification. However, I agree with uberben it would be great if the
envelope stay coloured when the e-mail still unread. Thank you again.

The fix works well with Thunderbird 5.0 on Ubuntu 10.10. But it only made me happy for a few minutes since exactly the same problem (no green envelope) comes back after updating to TB 6 :(

Thanks Skanev, your file is ok for Ubuntu 10.04 and Thunderbird 7.0. I've just modified the file install.rdf in the xpi file for TB 7.0.

I've the green enveloppe and thunderbird on messaging menu.

Fix works well in non-unity interface of Ubuntu 11.04 and TB 7.01

The error messages I used to get in TB Error Console with TB 5, 6 & 7 have now gone.

Any chance of promoting these fixes to the PPA?
