I usually keep Thunderbird open when my computer is open. But Thunderbird is minimized to the taskbar. It will be more convenient if it is minimized or closed to the system tray as an icon.It will be better if it can display the number of unread messages. Mozilla’s software’s addon system give the method to add more feature to the software by only installing some addons to it. The addons for minimized the windows to system tray are different on Windows and Linux.
我通常在计算机打开时保持Thunderbird处于打开状态。 但是Thunderbird被最小化到任务栏。 如果将其最小化或关闭到系统托盘作为图标,将更加方便。如果它可以显示未读邮件的数量,则将更好。 Mozilla的软件的附加组件系统通过仅向其安装一些附加组件,提供了向该软件添加更多功能的方法。 在Windows和Linux上,将窗口最小化到系统托盘的附加组件有所不同。

My favourite addon for minimizing to tray is FireTray[1]. It works perfect under thunderbird. But it can also be added to firefox, sunbird, seamonkey 2 and songbird. It allows to set up custom icon, minimizing to tray instead of closing and display the number of unread messages. A screen shot on my laptop:
我最喜欢的将托盘最小化的插件是FireTray [1]。 它在雷鸟下工作完美。 但也可以将其添加到firefox,sunbird,seamonkey 2和songbird中。 它允许设置自定义图标,最小化到托盘而不是关闭,并显示未读消息的数量。 我的笔记本电脑上的屏幕截图:

The addon for Thunderbird on Windows is MinimizeToTray[2]. MinimizeToTray can allow to always minimize to the tray instead of to the taskbar, minimize to tray on close and require a double click to restore from the tray.
Windows上的Thunderbird插件是MinimizeToTray [2]。 MinimizeToTray可以始终始终最小化到托盘而不是任务栏,最小化到关闭时的托盘,并且需要双击才能从托盘还原。
These addons can also be used on Firefox. But usally I don’t like to make Firefox minimized to system tray. I will use Firefox for more time than Thunderbird, so Firefox should be ready there most of time ;)
这些插件也可以在Firefox上使用。 但是通常我不希望将Firefox最小化到系统托盘。 我将使用Firefox的时间比使用Thunderbird的时间长,因此Firefox应该在大多数时间都可以使用;)
