Actually that's not what I'm experiencing. The only effect of clicking on an unread folder entry is to just clear that entry. It also decreases Thunderbird's unread badge icon in the Unity launcher, from the same number of messages the entry accounted for. This all makes perfect sense, the only missing part is focusing Thunderbird when it's on another workspace (which is, I believe, a pretty common setup) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to thunderbird in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/808777 Title: Determine if / how we should switch workspaces when focusing Thunderbird Status in Messaging Menu Thunderbird Extension: New Status in “thunderbird” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in “thunderbird” source package in Oneiric: Triaged Bug description: SRoesgen writes: "I have placed Thunderbird on one workspace.
