One of the most favorable software for mail clients is Mozilla Thunderbird. It is a free software which can be downloaded on their official website. Like Firefox, Thunderbird can also be customized easily and there are thousands of resources online. One good thing in using mozilla thunderbird or any other mail clients is that read messages offline and this can also save your time from opening your mails via browser. There are also a lot of advantages when you are using a mail client especially when your are using a portable device such as the laptop/notebook.
In the previous days I have heard a lot of complaints regarding Thunderbird and I will be defending it since I have been using it for quite sometime and I haven’t found any problems with it. One of the problems I have been hearing in the past few days is that Thunderbird is somewhat like annoying when you are opening a lot off applications when in fact you will be viewing it once in a while.

For a lot of people this really is bothersome especially when you are in a hurry and want to switch from one application to the other in no time. To those who don’t explore well and relies only to default settings this really is one big problem. Like what I said Mozilla Thunderbird can also be customized. To add Thunderbird in the system tray you can just download the add on name Minimize to Tray and set the options like what I have in the image below:

Once you close your Thunderbird it will automatically be in the system tray and will notify you every now and then when you recieve an email. I hope I made your life easy and helped you somehow from a problem that really was never a problem.
Did find the post very useful? Maybe you want to buy me a glass of beer!

This is all fine and dandy however the plug in is now out of date and does not work on Thunderbird 3.0.
This should be in the core even basic programs have this. Big oversight by the developers.
I hope, that Minimize to tray version for TB 3.x will be ready soon…
There is another plugin that works exactly the same as this plugin it worked for v3.x
