    Start Postbox Mail Handler with Windows (minimized)


    I am using Postbox and like it so far, except that it doe not have an option to "start with Windows". I am trying to figure out how I can make it start (minimized) when Windows starts. Can anyone give me advice how I can do this? I tried using the shortcut changing to "minimized" but that doesn't seem to work when opening it. Any suggestions appreciated.

    Decided to use Mailbird - much easier.

    One of the really great things about Postbox is that its available for both Windows and OSX (for those of us who live on both platforms). The other is the fact that, being built on Thunderbird, it uses the same folder structure for the "local" mail folders. What that means is that you can keep all your local mail folders (storage) on Dropbox, point Postbox to that Dropbox location and your done. You then have the ability to see those folders regardless of which platform you're on. And being on Dropbox, your local mail storage is always backed up. Slick!

    Homer, since you do use Postbox, do you know how to start it with Windows (minimized), or do you start it manually each session?

    @JohnBurns Sorry, but being retired I don't get any more than 3 or 4 emails daily, and even then, half are spam. So, I've never found the need to have Postbox start when I boot up. I just launch it, check my email and then shut it down. Wait 24 hours, repeat.

    Thanks, appreciate your feedback - I will probably just remain with Mailbird at this point.
