Remove “Set Up Mail” and other entries from the message indicator?

In Ubuntu 11.10, how do I remove the Chat, Broadcast and Set Up Mail... entries from the messaging menu?

I tried blacklisting them by symlinking (say, ~/.config/indicators/messages/applications-blacklist/empathy to /usr/share/indicators/messages/applications/empathy) but that didn't do anything...

Has the blacklisting method changed? Do I have to use other application names?

    @nitstorm I'm not so sure, since that question seems specific to an older version of Ubuntu using Evolution. 11.10 now comes with Thunderbird by default. Also, note that the [accepted answer](http://askubuntu.com/questions/7850/remove-set-up-mail-from-message-indicator/7851#7851) there did not work for this asker. – Knowledge Cube Oct 15 '11 at 19:42

    @jfoucher: Have you tried just removing the applications from `/usr/share/indicators/messages/applications/`? @Warriorking64: Thought the accepted answer in the linked question asked the user to remove the file from the above directory – Nitin Venkatesh Oct 15 '11 at 19:49
  • @nitstorm On a second look, you're right about the answer. I must've just misread something. – Knowledge Cube Oct 15 '11 at 19:52
  • What does running `cp /usr/share/indicators/messages/applications/* ~/.config/indicators/messages/applications-blacklist/` do? For me it removes all the items except *Chat*. – Isaiah Oct 15 '11 at 20:09
  • Yes @Dor, that did the trick for everything except chat. The symlink method seems not to work anymore. And the _Chat_ item is still here... – jfoucher Oct 16 '11 at 04:39
