Minimize Thunderbird to the system tray

Sometimes, you accidentally close your email, resulting in you missing important emails. This is why Mozilla Thunderbird users install plugins that put the email client to the system tray to avoid this situation. However, recent updates to the app killed some of these legacy extensions. Luckily, there are standalone applications that allow users to keep Thunderbird open without crowding their desktops. ThunderbirdTray is a handy utility software that allows you to minimize the email client to your system tray. With this, keeping your Thunderbird open will no longer be an issue. You can always access your emails easily and quickly without having to keep them in your taskbar.

Simple yet efficient

ThunderbirdTray is a simple app. It is not filled with a lot of functions nor is it original. In fact, it is quite basic—from the interface to its features. However, don’t let its looks stop you from using this app. While it may seem outdated, this app works well with newer releases of the client application. You also do not need porting between releases, unlike extensions. This app’s internals relies on .NET and Win32 structures instead of WebExtensions, so you can avoid the hassle.

ThunderbirdTray also performs well. The menu it displays only comes with two options, you can choose to show or hide the email client, or you can exit the app. With this, users no longer need learning curves to figure out how the app works. It doesn’t nag you in any way. It's just there to do its job.

If you are a frequent Mozilla Thunderbird user and you want a clean desktop without needing to close your email, then this app is good for you. It does its job really well and works with new Thunderbird versions. However, it only has one function—and that is to minimize your Thunderbird email and keep it hidden in the system tray.
