SYSTEM TRAY
Can someone please tell me how to set up OE so that it sits in the system
tray and scans for emails so I don't have to have the program open all the time. I used to use Incredimail but have switched over to OE for the Calender etc. Can't find instructions for the above anywhere. Thank you in advance |

Are you sure you are speaking of OE? Outlook Express does not have a
calendar. AFAIK, you can't put OE in the SysTray. You can open it and then minimize it to the Taskbar but OE /must/ be open to receive mail. If not checked already: Tools | Options | General. Check for messages every XX minutes. Check it. Tools | Accounts | Mail | Properties | General. Check: "Include this account............". -- Bruce Hagen MS-MVP [Mail] Imperial Beach, CA "Karryn" wrote in message ...

You can't "minimize OE to the systray" without installing some third-party
application. OE doesn't have a calendar; OL does.

Karryn,
You can use a program called Tray Me (http://www.codeproject.com/KB/system/TrayMe.aspx) Become a free member, download the application & use). You can then cancel your membership after that There is a better version he http://www.teamcti.com/trayit/trayit.htm which is also free. I would recommend this one of the two What it does it hooks an application then you can send it to the System Tray running normally Or if you are a programmer like me just write a system tray application POP3 application that you can then open an e-mail application when the need arises -- SPAMCOP User "Karryn" wrote in message ...

Thank you in advance You'll have to use a 3rd party program as OE doesn't manage a tray icon. 4t Tray Minimizer (free and paid versions) http://www.4t-niagara.com/tray.html http://www.4t-niagara.com/tray_comparison.html |
