Just wanted to let you know your link to ‘Sync on arrival’ actually points to MinimizeToTray.

Does MinimizeToTray work for thunderbird linux ? It seems it’s not available for this system 🙁

@Benoit:
I’m not sure whether it works on Linux, as I don’t miss it much there due to the existence of workspaces. It’s mostly one more way to make Windows a bit more bearable for day to day use.
