CloseReview for MinimizeToTray Reanimated by Paddy
Rated 5 out of 5 stars
This works perfectly with the current version of Thunderbird, so I no longer need to use a third-party program to send it to the tray.
You can specify when you want the tray icon to be utilised, e.g. when closing the program it can be set to instead go to the tray. It covers pretty much every scenario and use case. You can even specify if you want the minimise behaviour to apply to everything, or just the main program but not the message or composing windows, etc.
I can't understand why this isn't an in-built option in Thunderbird, it's so silly to require an add-on for such a simple thing.
Thank you to Ysard for resuscitating this add-on, it's greatly appreciated!
