Use evolution instead of thunderbird in top toolbar area

Question

Is there any possibility to use evolution instead of thunderbird in the top toolbar area as email client? I'm using Ubuntu 14.10 with Unity. I've installed evolution, I just wanna that I can create an email by clicking on the email icon (see below)

enter image description here

Thanks

you may need to install the evolution-indicator package: http://askubuntu.com/questions/5643/how-to-add-evolution-to-the-messaging-menu see also this Q&A where I said how to remove Thunderbird or any other entry: http://askubuntu.com/questions/449174/email-icons-missing-from-menu-bar-after-upgrade-to-ubuntu-14-04 — Takkat, Mar 02 '15 at 19:30

Open a terminal and install the evolution indicator:
```
sudo apt-get install evolution-indicator
```

Change the default email application in the messaging indicator:

dconf write /com/canonical/messages/applications "['evolution.desktop']"

Restart your session, the indicator will look like this:
