I'm using popper mail notification, which integrates into the messaging applet, therefore I have no use for the default message indicator entries. Is there a way to hide/remove them?
I already disabled the thunderbird unity integration add-on.

You can remove the message indicator by removing the indicator-messages package by clicking on that link and clicking uninstall. Or by executing the following command in a terminal:
sudo apt-get remove indicator-messages
Then log out and back in.
I have recently gotten these notifications to work. I'm not sure if this will work for everyone. I'm also not sure if this is a bug or not. It seems more like an oversight of forgotten software that should be installed by default. I installed the following packages to get everything (sound, bubble, messaging indicator) to work:
sudo apt-get install notification-daemon esound python-notify
Good luck to everyone else having problems with this!

You just need to remove the Thunderbird file from
/usr/share/indicators/messages/applications.
