Rated 1 out of 5 stars

I'm using TB 102.7.2 With Win 11 Pro, so I thought I would give this a try. However, as mentioned by another reviewer, I have concerns about it having unrestricted access to TB and my computer.

I went to Tools > Settings and checked "When Thunderbird is minimized, move it to the tray" under "System integration". Clicking the Minimize button as opposed to Close to avoid unrestricted access is just as simple to do.

I also went to "C:\Users\[user]\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup" (or Win-R shell:startup) and created a shortcut to the TB executable. I tried setting it to start minimized in the Properties Shortcut tab, but this didn't seem to work as TB still started up as maximized. I can live with this as it's easy enough to minimize it and still have it in the tray.

If TB is truly open source, using my 30+ years of experience as a software developer, I might be inclined to take a look at the TB code and add a right-click menu to the tray icon that has at least an Exit command to truly close the app instead of opening it up and closing it that way (as mentioned by another reviewer). If anyone can point me in the right direction to the code that handles the WM_MINIMIZE command (or whatever handles closing the app), it would speed up the process if no one else is inclined to add that functionality.
