Vista - Tray Icon For Windows Mail

Is there one? I want WM to be open in the background. Every other program for
windows has a tray icon and keeps the program open? Any suggestions? Don't
like to have WM as a minimized folder, it distracts me, i'm picky like that!
haha! Thanks everyone!!!

No, no tray icon for Windows Mail.

Well, it's certainly not true that every other program has this feature and
WinMail does not either. I don't know why, they put it in Windows Live Mail
Desktop. Maybe it's a shared DLL they can't change.

Hi,
Try PowerMenu 1.5.1 from
http://www.veridicus.com/tummy/programming/powermenu/ I've used it for
several years on XP. I've only given it a brief test on Vista, but it seems
to be safe and effective.

Hope this helps,
