With the release of Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger, Apple Mail no longer respects the user's 'Hide at Login' setting. To work around this problem, use this simple AppleScript application to launch Apple Mail in a hidden state. It is intended to be set as one of your Login Items.

HiddenMail 1.0 appears to no longer work with the OS X v10.4.7 update. Mail is launched at login but is no longer hidden. Anyone else encounter the same problem after upgrading to 10.4.7?

Maybe you could post the script. I got the same startup problem with netnewswire and would like to change the programname you call in the script. That would be nice.

With Automator:
Actions --
Finder: Launch application whatever
Automator: Run Applescript

tell application "Finder" to set the visible of process "whatever" to false

Save as an application and run put that in your login items.
