=== Test case ===
1. Install unity 3.8.16 from natty-proposed
2. Restart unity (logout/login OR compiz --replace)
3. Set Thunderbird as your default mail client
4. Open the Dash using the Ubuntu button and click "Check Email" button
5. Thunderbird should start
===
Binary package hint: unity
I use Thunderbird as my preferred email reader on Ubuntu. I have it set as the default client system-wide, and Thunderbird is selected under the Preferred Applications section of the System Settings. However, if I open the Unity dash and then click on "Check Email", it automatically opens Evolution. I can't find any way of editing the dash icons, so this effectively disables functionality of the dash for me.

Yes, I seems thunderbird is the only app that cannot be added as favorite, this could be a bitesize?
