SysTray-X

SysTray-X is a system tray extension for Thunderbird 68+. The addon uses the WebExtension API's to control an external system dependent system tray application.

The addon and system tray application can do:

  • custom new mail icon
  • display number of unread mails
  • show / hide Thunderbird (minimize)
  • minimizing hides to tray
  • minimize on startup

The default poll time is 60 seconds. You change the timing in the preferences but be aware that a too short poll time can lead to a high CPU load.

Binaries (System)

These packages will install the Thunderbird addon and companion app system wide.
Root credentials are required.
