I'm using Microsoft office 2010, and I use outlook to check my email. How can I get outlook to stay in my system tray after opening it for the first time each day to be notified of new emails?
1. Press Windows plus T. You’ll be at the tool bar.
2. Press the tab key until you hear Notification chevron button. Press the spacebar, or enter.
3. Arrow up once to customize and press enter.
4. Now if you tab down you’ll find all the things in your systems tray, or what can show there if you like.
5. .Tab to outlook and stop. Use your arrow keys and set it to show icon and notifications.
6. Tab to okay and you’re finished.
7. Note, you can make everything show in your systems tray, and you’ll see this options.
There is another method to get this done as well.
Post if you need that one.
If you make all your icons show, you have to go another method to put them back to defaults as well.
Hey this is good to know. I've been waiting for a long time to have Outlook in my system tray. Back in the day I was pretty sure you couldn't do it. Though, these days I use Windows Live Mail. I imagine the techniques are similar.
It is vary same or similar to Outlook.
Outlook will have more business related features, such as using the computers address book, scheduling, and a few others, but as to controls or opteration, they are same.
I honestly don't mind outlook, but I find it doesn't play nice with my hotmail account, in spite of having hotmail connecter. Even though Microsoft has "outlook.com" now, it still doesn't support its own mail service all that well for some reason.
That's because you need to migrate your Hotmail account over to outlook.com.
I'm surprised you've not been asked to do so.
I haven't. Not to my knowledge. It's still @Hotmail.com. So if you migrate it and someone sends an email to your Hotmail address will it get forwarded to an outlook.com address?
It comes yes. You are offered a chance to change it as well and keep the old one working too.
Go to outlook.com and sign in as you normally would, and see what it does.
Good to know. Thank y ou.
