Running Outlook in background

[Guest]

Is there a way that you can run OE in the background all the time without
having the OE window open?

Well you can minimize the window. You can also run various third party
programs that run in the background and let you know when you receive mail
if that is what you want.

There is no built-in feature as Carey said. A third-party minimize-to-tray
application might help:

Minimize to Tray, Roll-Up Window, Stay On Top with Active Captions - System

If you are using Outlook 2003 or XP, there is a registry
key you can set so that when you minimize Outlook, it
minimizes to the system tray.

For Outlook 2003:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Outlook\Preferences

For Outlook 2002:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\10.0\Outlook\Preferences

Create a new REG_DWORD key named MinToTray and set it to
1.
