Mozilla Thunderbird question

Hello,

I am wondering how I can minimize Mozilla Thunderbird to the system tray so I can get an alert when I have new mail and just to have the program open....

Thank you so much,

Gracie

 

Hi,

use this extension: MinimizeToTray

Regards

 

Thank you SO much VaMPiRiC_CRoW!

 

You are welcome

 

Just curious, is thunderbird safe to use? I figured it is, but interested to find out.

 

Well, you can use Outlook, Outlook Express, Eudora, IncrediMail and other mail software, but I prefer Thunderbird

I think it is the safest out of all the E-Mail clients.

 

Hi Kye-U

I actually looked at IncrediMail but I read reviews on Download.com that it leaves behind alot of entries and so forth.... used Outlook and Outlook express and they were ok.. but I really like the feel of Thunderbird

 

Nooo lol , it says it won't work the version I have. It is the latest of Thunderbird, is there any other program known to be able to have the feature of minimizing to system tray? and also, is there a way I can have it check for new mail say every 5 minutes?

Thank you everyone,

Gracie

 

Yes, it's a very good email-client that have all the features needed for free
Much better than Outlook...

Try the link under: Latest version for trunk/nightly builds of Firefox (including Deer Park), Thunderbird (including 1.1 alpha), Seamonkey, and Sunbird

I find IncrediMail bloated; with useless background images, smilies, etc...

 

maybe a gmail account with a notifcation alerter. it's web based though.

 

Thank you all for your replies , I found a great program. It is free, works great!!!! Its called Thunderbird-Tray

Nice find Gracie!

 

I thought so too! I also found out how Thunderbird should check for mail every so many minutes, I put 1 minute.

Thanks everyone again for your kind help.
