Thunderbird Minimize To Tray

Roshan Karki Anonymous
Mozilla Thunderbird can be minimized to tray with some additional plugins. These plugins also notifies of new email beside hiding Thunderbird to tray.

1) moztraybiff

To notify of new email message the color of tray icon is changed. But with current version we can't get the Thunderbird inbuilt new email notification system.
Note: This release has the unfortunate side-effect of disabling the new Thunderbird 2.0 feature of popping up an alert box for incoming mail. Currently it's impossible to have both my extension and this feature working together. In future versions, this is fixed. In this version, you can always restore the alert box feature by disabling or uninstalling this extension.


2) Firetray

I like this plugin better as there is no compatibility problem with inbuilt new email notification system The tray icon changes to number of unread email messages. You have got option to "minimize on close". Custom icon support. Options like create new email message on pop-up menu and so on.

To get either of this in your Thunderbird,
  1. download it from the site mentioned above. 
  2. Open Thunderbird
  3. Go to Tools -> Add-ons
  4. Click install
  5. Select the add-on you downloaded.

Increase Free Space On HTC Desire Android Phones

Are you running out of free space on phones like HTC Desire and variants? It only has about 150MB of free space and after official Gingerbread 2.3.3 update the free space has decreased. Its really frustrating seeing all those apps with 20MB+ size eating up valuable space on Android phones. Even with App2SD I had very very difficult time maintaining free space. Installing apps like Facebook, Google Plus, Google Reader would eat up all the space. Today I used link2sd to increase free space on my Android phone and now I've more than 1GB of free space for installing apps. I've been installed so so many apps now. link2sd can move your application apk, dex and lib files to second partition of your SD card and creates a symlink where necessary. Even when you mount your SD card in computer the apps in SD card will work as only the first partition will be mounted in computer. Requirements : Root MicroSD card Clockworkmod recovery to partitoin the SD card. But you can manua
