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!

I recieve several emails a day from a submission form on my website that contain what looks like Russian words. I would like to create a message filter to move these messages directy to the trash based on one or two characters that do not appear in the english language. I thought I had done it, but the filters don't appear to work.
