I would appreciate it too.
@matteomartelli,
For now I run this script on startup as a workaround:
orschiro@x230:~$ cat Software/close_windows_startup.sh
#!/bin/bash
# Script enters into this while loop, and keeps checking
# if wmctrl -l lists firefox. Condition is true if firefox
# isn't there. When firefox appears, condition is false,
# loop exits
while ! [[ "$(wmctrl -lx)" =~ "Mail.Thunderbird" ]]
do
# number of seconds can be changed for better precision
# but shorter time equals more pressure on CPU
sleep 1
done
# Only after firefox appears , we get to here
echo "Found Thunderbird, closing it now..."
sleep 1
wmctrl -c Thunderbird
# Same idea as before - we enter the waiting loop,
# and keep looping until Thunderbird is not on the list
while [[ "$(wmctrl -lx)" =~ "Mail.Thunderbird" ]]
do
sleep 1
done
#When loop exits, that means programs aren't on the list
echo "Script is done"
@orschiro Thank you very much. This is a very useful workaround.
You are welcome. :-)

Quick follow up: any news on implementing it directly into the add-on?
Dear @nmaier,
What a fantastic add-on.
Thank you so much! :-)
I have a question:
I added Thunderbird to the Startup Application Preferences on Ubuntu 16.10 to run on startup.
It currently opens with a maximised window. I need to click on the close button to have it minimised to tray thanks to your add-on.
My question to you:
Can you add an option to your add-on to launch Thunderbird directly minimised?
Yours,
Robert
