Thunderbird has put itself into the system tray, even though I have it checked in settings not to.
At the same time, another email app which was there and is set to minimize into the system, Mailwasher, that I need to be there, isn't. I checked with that tech support, but they couldn't help. There is room for both.
Since the two software "events" occurred at the same time, it's too coincidental that one didn't affect the other. So I'm hoping someone has a suggestion to tell T-bird NOT to put itself in the system tray.
Thanks.

If using Win11, click Start button > search for Notifications
Click 'Other system tray icons' > find Thunderbird > click 'Off' button.
Thanks for the reply. Still using Win 10, but I'm saving your reply. I did get the icon that I need back on the system tray from the Taskbar Settings.

Then you should also be able to remove TB at Taskbar Settings. I was wrong about the Win11 location; it's Personalization > Taskbar > System tray icons.

It doesn't work the same in Win 10. The On-Off setting is just for what shows on the task bar outside the "hidden area." No idea why it worked differently with Mailwasher, the app I need there -- or why the Volume icon is sometimes showing outside the private area and sometimes not, and right now isn't showing at all.
Thanks again for replying.
