How can I stop this notice: "This message has not been sent."

This notice appears when I'm composing an e-mail. When the message shows,
above the e-mail, I have to scroll down to keep writing. It's really
annoying!
 
That message in the infobar tells you the message was saved to drafts. I'm
not sure why you need to scroll down to keep writing - unless you use a very
low screen resolution. You can set outlook to either never save drafts or
lengthen the time it needs to save them... tools, options, email options,
advanced button - near the top of the list is a option for autosaving every
x minutes.
 
Hi Diane,

I'm moving over to Outlook 2007 from many years of using Outlook 2003 and
find this notification also VERY annoying. It didn't happen in 2003 even
though the autosave feature is enabled with the exact same time--3 minutes.

It's annoying because I generally take more than a few minutes to compose an
email. (If I want to jot off a quick response, I'll use IM.) So, I see this
"reminder" EVERY time I'm in Outlook. Also, I'm often gathering information
(on another computer or monitor) to include in my message and then I see my
email window "jump" when the notification bar is added. I wonder "what's
going on" until I realize I'm just being reminded. (I still haven't gotten
used to it.)

Lengthening the autosave time seems almost like disabling the autosave
feature which isn't what I want to do. I just want that useless (for me,
anyway) notification to go away.

thanks,
randy
 
You can't turn the infobar off. I compose slowly too and have never noticed
it 'jumping' or been distracted by it.

There is a big difference between size of the header area in 2003 and 2007 -
approx 5 lines. If that is the real problem, you can collapse the ribbon.
Clicking a tab will expand the ribbon as needed.

Thanks for the tips!

Is there somewhere we can post feedback to Microsoft about this? I only saw
where I could post feedback about the Office website.

If you have a support contract or have a retail version, you can create a
support incident - that's generally the best way to make sure it gets to
them.

Diane,

I have to agree with Jaxck, this is really annoying. It's not that I really
don't want to be patronised (though that's bad enough) it's just that the
whole mail jumps down a line.

When I first had it happen, I saw something change out of the corner of my
eye. For quite a few times later, I noticed a "change" but didn't know what
it was. As a Systems IT guy, I was checking all my security setting in case
someone was hacking.

The bottom line, is that it is lousy coding. You don't have to add an extra
line to the email form - not if you are a good coder. Bug or feature? I think
we know the answer to that.

As it happens, i do have a retail copy, but I'm sure there will be a
registry hack issued in the fullness of time.
 
It's not a bug - the infobar was intentional. If you don't want to see it,
either turn off autosaving drafts or set it to a number higher than 3 min.

It's not an issue that people are having with seeing the information, it's
that the screen jumps as the info bar appears the first time. It's a small
thing I know, but we are ALL reacting negatively to the "feel". If there
were a way to have the infobar appear (even blank) immediately upon opening
the email, that would probably be sufficient. Then new information would not
cause the screen to jump; the information would simply appear in the blank
space. It's just that the bar insinuates itself into the process while
you're working and everyone is finding that disturbing. Is there anything
that can be turned on so that some sort of "info" appears in the infobar
immediately as a "default"?
