Deleted Evolution, Installed Thunderbird. Missing a function now.

[EddieNYC]

Hi All.

New Linux/Ubuntu user here. Have a slight problem:

Version: UNR/Gnome 10.0.4 LTS

I removed Evolution and replaced it with Thunderbird. I no longer have the option within the white envelope in the panel for compose mail, etc. I really liked this function but it appears to me to have been an Evolution specific function.

Does anyone know how to make this work for Thunderbird?

I'm a newbie so if this is indeed possible, lay it on me in a step-by-step manner. LOL.
Thanks! ):P
