mailnag-unity-plugin 1.1-0~ubuntu15.04.1

Since upgrading to 15.04 I don't see any new mails in the messages indicator. The icon stays white and no mails are in the list. Mailnag is working, because I receive libnotify notifications.

I'm running xfce4 on archlinux. Poppup notifications work just fine, but I can't get the messaging menu to show up as a plugin after running the setup.py. I know arch isn't an officially supported distro, but I would appreciate any help/guidance you could give me. Thank you!

Edit: Additionally, under the xfce4 indicator plugin, when I receive a notification from mailnag, this doesn't register as a "known" indicator.

Dear Patrick Ulbrich!

I have just updated my Ubuntu 12.04 LTS to 16.04 LTS.
In 12.04 I used Popper as e-mail checker. It is fully not supported on 16.04 LTS because of new notification API.
Your mailnag checker was recommended as a good (and working) alternative.

So I installed mailnag and mailnag-messagingmenu-plugin from your PPA on 16.04. They look great, thank you!

I configured two e-mail accounts.
But mailnag-messagingmenu-plugin does not show account in the indicator-messages list. It is known issue with mailnag.
I remember popper configuration window (see this article).
It has many customizations for indicator.

I added account_name to the indicator-messages. For now it shows e-mail in the form:
"%s: %s - %s" % (m.account_name, sender, m.subject).

Patch is below:

But I have problem with messages list width. It is very narrow.
How I can make it wider? Popper's list was wider.
Which documentation do you recommend?

With best regards,
Norbert.

The PPA can't find the plugin and even when you build it, the plugin won't show in Mailnag-config.
