Minimize Thunderbird to System Tray on Linux
I still wonder why such a functionality is not implemented in every mail app (Outlook does it after all). So since I had to search twice and always had a hard time finding this add-on for… well, Firefox I thought I write a short article that may help others looking for the same information.
So you are looking for a solution to minimize Thunderbird to your systray on a Linux box, right? Well, search no further go here:
So forget about AllTray, Traybiff, or other mail notifiers. They all suck.
Btw I tested this on Ubuntu 9.04 and 9.10 where you might want to select the option “Close button minimizes to tray” (thats the way I like it).

About
Originally this site was intended as a project site. The goal was to define standards for the perimeterless network using
open-source software. To be honest I simply do not have the time for such a thing. So what is left is a blog with sporadic
posts that are either helpful for myself or I think are helpful for others, too since I had a hard time finding information
on the Internet. Think of it as a knowledge base.
Ehm yes, somtimes I write down my two cents on any topic that may go through my mind at that point in time ;-)
