How to disable taskbar pop-up in Outlook 2007

[Guest]

After upgrading to the lovely Outlook 2007, I get an annoying pop up balloon
on my taskbar telling me things like "Outlook is preparing requested view"
and the like.

This happens so often it's annoying. Any ideas how to disable this?

Thanks,

Jonathan

Wouldn't you rather want to solve the issue why it is showing the pop-up?
The pop-up is being shown for a reason of course.
Any details on your configuration?

Thanks for your reply, Roady.

I hadn't realised it was alerting me to an "issue". The pop-up balloon just
seemed to be an unnecessary message telling me what I already knew Outlook
was doing: i.e. opening a large email folder. If it is alerting me to an
issue, rather than just useless advice, then I'd be grateful for help in
solving it. Thank you.

I'm running WinXP fully updated, Dual 2.8ghz, 2GB RAM, 200GB free HDD space.
Perhaps more notably, I have email folders containing 15k+ emails which are
archived every 3 months into even larger archive files. It is when accessing
these folders that I now get the pop-up balloon telling me that "Outlook is
preparing the requested view". I of course know that it is preparing the
view, because I requested it, which is why I thought the pop-up advice was a
little unnecessary.

Thanks for your time.

Well unnecessary it may be but it would be a long wait anyway to view the
entire folder. Any specific reason why you need to view the entire folder?
Displaying it might be a lot faster if you define your own custom view which
filters out some messages. A Search Folder or just a search in general might
show your message faster and more efficiently then by listing a huge folder.

It actually takes around 10 seconds to view the folder, which is fine for my
purposes.

I guess we all have our preferences for the way we use Outlook, and I prefer
to scroll through listings by date and and sender, because sometimes I don't
know specifically what I need, I just need to check dates and see what was
received. This works well for me, and the way I arrange my business data.

I'd still like to leave my original question open to answer, rather than
have my working methods questioned. The fact remains this annoyance is new
with Outlook 2007, and we both agree it is unnecessary in this instance.

Well I don't claim it to be unnecessary as it would still indicate Outlook
is responsive.

I haven't tried it yet but you could try altering the "Outlook System Tray
Icon" policies.
