Feature Request: A native system tray (AppIndicator) integration

I’d like to request a feature for Mozilla Thunderbird on Ubuntu/Linux:

A native system tray (AppIndicator) integration with the ability to: • Run in the background without keeping a window open • Minimize to tray instead of the taskbar/dock • Option to start minimized to tray on system startup • Show unread mail count directly in the tray icon

Right now, users rely on third-party tools like Birdtray, which work but feel like a workaround rather than a seamless experience. A built-in solution would improve usability significantly especially for those who prefer a clean desktop while keeping Thunderbird always running in the background. I think this feature would bring Thunderbird closer to the behavior users expect from modern messaging/email clients on Linux desktops. Would love to see this considered in future updates!

Perhaps place your request in the ideas and feedback forum like on the help menu, instead of in support where no one from the development team will ever see it.

Or just add your comments to one of the many outstanding requests for such Linux integrations.

Thanks. I will post on the ideas forum. Thank you for acknowledging. Really appreciate it!
