Vista - Minimizing to System Tray

09-26-2007

I've just found out that if you have Windows Mail open and click on the
Windows Mail Tray "Envelope" and choose hide, it works just like any other
notifier. Remember: in order to work you cannot click on the X to close
Windows Mail, but click on HIDE on the System Tray Envelope (right-click).
This way Windows Mail will still be open and alert you in case you receive
any emails, and it does not have to be shown on the task bar.
I wonder why the developer has not mentioned it ever.
Good luck and a big and warm Brazilian hug.
