Minimizing Outlook to system tray

I

Ingo

I have Outlook 2003. I was just wondering if there is a
way where when I minimize Outlook only the system tray
icon is showing and the Outlook bar on the task bar
disappears? I've looked in options and I can't seem to
find it.

Basically I want it to be running in the background so it
will still connect and download new e-mails and a message
bubble will appear telling if there's any new messages
(like it does already), but I don't want Outlook to be
showing on the taskbar.



Thanks in advance! Everyone on these newsgroups are
always so helpful :)

Right click the system tray icon and choose Hide when Minimized.
