Please add this feature.

Please please please stop forcing us to use the bridge app for other clients just to have this feature.

To echo others, this is a basic feature that needs to be added.

The lack of this feature is a deal breaker for me. Developers, PLEASE add this

I'm not overly fond of bridging with Thunderbird as it is very laggy, having the ability to have Proton Mail running in the background via the System Tray would be a very helpful feature to keep receiving notifications whilst having more space free in my task bar.

Again, you (Proton) expect $100 a year, but, you lack this feature and many other BASIC features to your desktop app. Another feature needed is the ability to minimize desktop app to tray by using the CLOSE (X) icon. Appears I wont be using $10 a month option until there are many improvements made.

Agree with the rest here. The main incentive/expectation for those downloading a desktop app is this 'basic functionality', as some are calling it.

Best case, the app should have options to be a startup app, have icon badge notifications, and minimize to tray on close. This would give it parity with other mailing / messaging desktop apps, or even just the actual proton mobile app.

At absolute minimum though it really should minimize to tray. Otherwise desktop notifications are functionally broken for users who like to keep their taskbar clean, like myself :)

Important feature :)

This function needs to be made for obvious reasons.

It would also be great to be able to have the desktop app opening at PC start up and minimize automatically to system tray.

We really need this implemented. I'm not sure how this was missed before the first release.

The (WINDOWS) Protonmail App is a step forward, but desperately needs to:

have an option to minimize to the TRAY when closing

Clicking the Notification in Windows 11, does NOTHING, it should bring the app and the message to the forefront.

The option to change the interval for checking new mail, from REAL TIME to 5 minute intervals

Basic usability function that even most generic frameworks have built-in. Eagerly awaiting it's arrival. Thanks!

This is basic functionality and as a paying member I am disappointed this doesn't exist yet. This essentially forces me to use 3rd party apps.

I had not suspected that this function does not exist here...

On a multidesktop environment the system tray is the same for every desktop. But if the app is in the taskbar I always have to switch back to that specific desktop to use the app. It's annoying.

Any updates on this? This is a basic expectations for any Windows application.

Please do it, without it it's really hard to work and receive mail

Any updates from the devs?

Please, for the love of God, PLEASE!
