Minimizing Windows Mail

Hi,
Is there a way to make Windows Mail hide when minimized, just like Outlook
used
to do it, and just display as an icon in the start bar?
I have to many windows opened and Windows Mail is one of them, so I would
like
to get rid of it.

Thanks in advance!

Re: Minimizing Windows Mail

Hi Peter,
I think you didn't understand. I want WM to keep running, but don't want
the window to use space in the start bar. When i used Outlook, it had an
option to hide the window when the program was minimized and keep running,
just like Windows Live Messenger does when you close the Main Contacts
Windows, it just leaves the icon in the task bar without the window taking
up space.
Hope you can get it now.
