Can Eudora run in the backround without being visible next to the start menu (i.e. Can Eudora run in the SYSTEM TRAY?)

I want to have it check my email every 5 minutes but don't want to leave it open at all times (visibly). If anyone knows how to do this...please let me know.

Thanks!
Justin
 
Almost forgot to mention:

I am using Eudora 6.0 (Full version) for Windows XP.
 
There are 3rd party utilities which will do this for any program, unfortunately I do not have the name of one to hand, suggest you check the freeware/shareware sites for something suitable. I would be looking under "System Utilities" or similar headings.

Help us to help you, please post back and tell us if this helped.
All things are possible except skiing through a revolving door.
 
Thanks, Mulga. I looked around and found a program. I just wanted to put the name of it in here so that anyone with the same question can find an answer.

First I downloaded a Mail Alert 2.57. But, that only works WELL with Microsoft Outlook. So I deleted it.

Then I downloaded "Actual Titile Buttons." This allows you to minimize ANYTHING to the system tray. So I just minimize Eudora to the system tray and it makes an envelope when I have new mail. Very convienient!

THANKS!
