DESCRIPTION
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.

MONO2STEREO  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?

ANONYMOUS  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.

RICKROBERTS  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.

ANONYMOUS  Why wouldn't you just select Mail as a startup item and check the 'hidden' box? That's what I do for iCal. No AppleScript necessary.
