[QUOTE="OliverN, post: 1886659, member: 408282"] Curiosity is fine! Generally you might have an interest in always opening certain apps without needing to use a window. That could be for a messaging client you'd always like to keep in the background. Or could be for an application that keeps other software updated, like a games client. In the particular case with Mail it seems I don't get new email notifications unless Mail is running. Which is why it would be neat to automate always having it open and running in the background without having to bother with closing a window at every startup. Same logic for every other app that has 'passive' functionality I need daily, just running in the background. Functionality such as this is the very reason I'd think the option even existed. And I can't help but wonder if apps such as Mail seemingly 'ignoring' the Hidden option is truly intended behaviour or more of an oversight. [/QUOTE]
