How to receive email with outlook closed (running in background)?

I have a network of all outlook 2003 users, and 2003 exchange server. My
problem is that newer users are not opening outlook when they come in for
work - so they are missing all their email (untill they remember to open it).

Is there a way to make Outlook run in the background and/ or load when the
system boots up? I would like the users to receive email constantly
throughout the day, even if they forget to open outlook.

Any ideas??

Thank you!!

Either put a shortcut to Outlook in their startup folder or train them to
open Outlook once they have logged on to Windows. Outlook must be open to
receive mail and cannot be started as a service running in the background.

Yeah,
Copy outlook.exe to the startup folder, so that it opens right after the Windows XP user logson a,d is presented with the desktop.
