Windows Live MailAre you using Windows Live Mail as your primary e-mail program and thus running it all the time? I bet that its taskbar button will get in your way sometimes. When I played around with Live Mail’s options, I found a way to minimize Windows Live Mail to my system notification area, commonly known as “tray”. Sounds interesting? Here we go.

  1. Start Windows Live Mail.
  2. Right-click on its icon in the notification area.
  3. In the opening context menu, check the item Hide window when minimized.
  4. Now minimize Live Mail’s Inbox window—done!

Windows Live Mail is still running
