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.

I think its a shame the mail client has no systray icon feature yet, I use dwm and cannot minimize the app to anywhere else.

The fact that this still hasn't been dealt with tells us all that we need to know...

Would be great to have a minimized startup option with the desktop mail app in the system tray.

This is utterly ridiculous. Here to voice my displeasure that this is STILL not working after all of this time.
Tuta is light years ahead of Proton

It looks like this request is falling on deaf ears.
My renewal comes up in a couple of months and I am forced to rethink paying for premium email without premium features. Please implement this feature !

It should be a priority to implement minimize to taskbar with a badge count. Windows does give notifications as long as the app is open but that just isn't good enough. Act like you care about your app.

Absolutely vital, would make me switch to the client permanently.

I'd love to have this feature to be perfectly honest ... I mean since other apps from your suite (Pass and VPN to be exact) have that option, why not mail

I'm still waiting for proton to add this feature. It would improve the user experience tenfold. I hope they can do it soon because it seems like a lot of people are feeling the same way.

It's crazy that ElectronMail (the unofficial ProtonMail Desktop App) has had this feature for years and Proton still hasn't implemented it.

It's been over a year and we're still waiting.

If this feature came I would make protonmail my primary email application. Now I'm stuck with Thunderbird to get notifications.

The same is true for Proton Bridge. With MacOS, the app "Autostarter" can provide the minimize feature that Proton Mail (or Bridge) does not have.

I don't intend to come off as judgemental, or whiny, but I've been on a 2 year biling cycle and recently updated my subscription from Proton Unlimited to Proton Family so I could manage email for custom domains we have. I have to admit that after installing the desktop app and not finding the "start to tray", "close to tray", etc. options, I was a bit disappointed.
This feature seems quite standard for desktop clients, without it the app is essentially just a sandboxed web browser.

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.
