Minimized Outlook

I was glad to discover that I could minimize Outlook to an icon at the right of
my task bar instead of to the standard big minimize bar.

At least, until I found out that half of the time when I click on it to expand
it, I get a ! message telling me that Outlook is not responding. I suppose
that's a function of my Exchange server. But having to click again slows
things down.

Is there a way to disable this message and maximize Outlook quickly?

Click to expand...

DIsabling the message wouldn't fix the problem, even if the message could be
disabled. If there's a communications issue between the client and the
server, fixing that will not only get rid of the message, it will allow
Outlook to open quickly. I seem to recall some issues with Exchange
V5.5/2000 and Outlook 2003 that produced that problem and that some hot fix
or service pack fixed it.
 
right click on the icon and uncheck the Show... alerts.
