Outlook 2003 - Close all messages/windows but leave Outlook open

As I work throughout the day, I seem to open tons so messages, and
leave them open. So after a while I can have 20 message open. I want
to be able to close all the message windows in one fell swoop, but
leave the main Outlook app running.

If I do a "close group" on the Outlook tast in the task bar, the
messages close, but so does outlook.

Is there a way to close all message and leave outlook running. I guess
this is analogous to "close all tabs on except this one' in Firefox.

Thanks to anyone for yoru help!
 
Configure Outlook to minimize in the Notification Area. Minimize the main
Outlook screen and close the rest of the group.
