Rated 4 out of 5 stars

This one is the best so far - it does work with the latest non-beta Thunderbird, and it minimizes to the _tray_ even in Win7.
Its options include minimizing on close which is great.

Now to the shortcomings:
1. No setting to always keep the icon in the tray - once you maximize TB, the icon disappears, and appears upon minimize. Not neat at all. Please add "Always show icon in tray" option.
2. No animated icon on unread mail (like in "The Bat"). It's amazing how there is no mail client which would use this obvious unread mail indicator - you can miss the sound, you can miss the popup, but you can never miss the animated systray icon! Please add this feature.
3. No feature to restore TB on _single_ click on systray icon. Please add as an option as well.

These three obvious features will give this addon a competitive advantage over all others!

Thank you!
