Ability to minimize to tray
Not sure if I missed this, but I don't see the ability to minimize Postbox to the system tray (in Windows). I do this with the MinimizeToTray extension in Thunderbird. I like keeping my email client open all the time to get alerted about new emails, but it's a bit in the way in the taskbar. Being able to put it in the tray without any other trace makes it very convenient to always have the program open. Please add this!

Inappropriate?Perhaps while we are waiting for the Postbox team to implement (please) this much needed feature you could use the small program Trayconizer. This works very well.
I’m happy

Thanks for posting the link to Trayconizer.. :) -
wow, i wasn't aware of this program... Works perfectly over here! :) Thank you! -
Inappropriate?Yes please!!!
-
Inappropriate?Agree, It's like during Ice Age to keep applications like email client on taskbar.
-
Inappropriate?Trayconizer is a very good software to minimize to tray, but I changed it for HotkeyP because you can do much more with it p.e. empty recycle bin, minimize other, terminate processes.

Inappropriate?PS Tray Factory 3.0 works best for windows vista...

Inappropriate?Trayconizer works for me. Just edit your shortcut as it says on Trayconizer Web site. I've attached the image.

I'm using Windows Vista Home Premium X64.
I’m thankful to Trayconizer developer(s).

Inappropriate?I have been using poppy for windows for a couple of years with thunderbird. Also works fine with Postbox. A simple tray application that uses very little system resources. Does not have many of the bells & whistles of other apps., but does the job without any fuss & bother. It is freeware

this is one of the best points

Inappropriate?We've put together a test build in advance of the next public beta which add add-ons support. We've worked with the add-on developer for Minimize To Tray to make it compatible with Postbox!
Check it out and let us know how it works:

Woohoo!!! It is working great so far! -
Inappropriate?This is fixed in Postbox 1.0b13, thanks to Jivko Evgeniev, the author of the add-on.

Thanks!

Inappropriate?I read over the comments by PostBox reps - and even though it's mentioned that PostBox is compatible with the MinimizeToTray extension - Postbox says it is not when I go to install that addon. Any fixes?
-
Inappropriate?Scratch that - the one that works with PostBox is not the original MinimizeToTray that I knew of. Issue resolved.
-
heh, glad you figured that out Bob.
