Thanks for your answer Gordon. I was hoping that Outlook had a similar
function to the Palm Desktop Alarm Manager. This allows a Alarm (timer) pop
up when the Palm Desktop program is closed.
It doesn't. It must be running. However, if you have Outlook 2002-2007, you
can configure it to minimize to the Notification Area (System Tray) instead of
to the Taskbar. For Outlook 2003-2007, right-click the Outlook icon in the
system tray and choose "Hide When Minimized". Then use the Minimize button
(not the Close button) to hide it. For Outlook 2002, there's a registry
setting that controls it.
