Minimize desktop app to system tray
Ability to minimize Proton Mail Desktop app to the system tray (notification area) to keep it from taking up space on the taskbar.
Icon in notification should show unread message count.

This is applicable to the Linux version as well. ProtonVPN's Linux client will (if an additional, small app is installed, since GNOME doesn't support this by default) stay in the top bar and free up space in my dock. It would be nice for this to be standard functionality across all Proton applications in Linux.

Right now there is literally no reason to use the desktop app, it's just an Electron wrapper around the web interface. Meanwhile, look at what ElectronMail has done, it's a complete overhaul of the interface plus all the features you need. The least they could do is make it minimized to the tray and automatically startup.

This would be very handy and convenient :)

Preferable autostart and minimize.

There's basically no point to the desktop app over the web page if I have to keep the window in the alt-tab rotation.

I'm also looking forward to that feature :)
