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.

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.

I spent so long looking for this option in the client because I could not believe that it wouldn't have such a fundamental feature...

The option to minimize to tray on close would be amazing.

+1 for this on Linux.
Also an option to store credentials.
Everytime...
Ask me for 2FA after some time or on startup or whatever, but don't let me open my Pw Manager and copy paste my password... please!
(I know, this is not asked here, but a closed app + the credential issue = super annoying) -

Minimize to tray would be the only reason to prefer the app over the web version. -

Systray behavor (minimize on systray, close on systray, ...)
Launch at system startup
Nofification on taskbar icon (like discord)
Windows Notifications on/off (I don't like that but I guess others can use it) -

I was honestly shocked that this feature wasn't included on release. I thought this was one of the major benefits of having a desktop app in the first place. I keep a lot of things open throughout the day; being able to reduce some taskbar clutter would be fantastic.

Minimize to tray is absolutely needed for Windows users, along with start with system startup.

Auto start application, minimize to tray options (on close, on minimize), auto start application to tray. These are all the required features I need before switching from the Electron Mail client.

Adding my votes for the Linux version!

This would be super ****. The desktop app feels more like a webapp rather than a full fledged desktop application. Ability to minimize to systray would help improve that feeling.

Please add this feature to make it similar to Proton VPN. By keeping things hidden in the system tray and enabeling autostart and notification + notification counter make for a clean experience.
