Description Michael Gratton 2016-08-30 23:21:15 UTC 
Unity users are finding it hard to find the app menu: http://askubuntu.com/questions/806389/where-are-the-settings-in-geary-mail-client

We should ensure that under Unity, regardless of whether Gtk.Settings::gtk-shell-shows-app-menu is true, Geary should always show an app menu. At least until the Unity UX improves, anyway.

The fix for Bug 770617 will get this halfway there,
Comment 2 Michael Gratton 2017-02-23 03:51:35 UTC 
Bumping to 0.12.1 since 0.12.0 isn't likely to make it into Zesty.

Michael
App menu is available on top panel. And if you enable LIM menu is available on top bar. The issue is Geary is not using titlebar under Unity. Because now the desktop name is XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=Unity:Unity7:ubuntu.
Comment 4 Khurshid Alam 2017-10-04 04:43:28 UTC 
The issue is here

https://git.gnome.org/browse/geary/tree/src/client/application/geary-config.vala?id=01c419a#n40

    public DesktopEnvironment desktop_environment {
        get {
            switch (Environment.get_variable("XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP")) {
                case "Unity":
                    return DesktopEnvironment.UNITY;
                default:
                    return DesktopEnvironment.UNKNOWN;
            }
        }
    }
