My Windows 10 taskbar tab for Thunderbird shows "Inbox - Gmail - ...". Actually, when I hover over the tab it's actually "Inbox - Gmail - my-email-address@gmail.com - Mozilla Thunderbird".

How can I make the taskbar tab for Thunderbird just say "Thunderbird"?

Thanks!

As far as I can see, after an admittedly rather small test, all my open apps display the working document or tab name in their task bar entry. Would you have Thunderbird behave differently from everything else?

Thank you for your reply Zenos!

Actually... I do want TBird to behave differently than the Windows norm.

In truth, I'd like to do the same for Firefox, Chrome, Filezilla and other programs as well... I know that actually makes it probably more of a Windows question, but if I can figure out how to do it in Thunderbird, I should be able to apply that to other programs as well.
