permanent e-mail envelope

[KMB]

our company just got upgraded with microsoft outlook 2003. could you please
bring back the permanent mail envelope that stays up when you get mail. i
work for a company and i myself have two monitors so most of the time i miss
my incoming mail.
but it is just not me here other co-workers feel the same. when you are up
and down from your desk your first thought shoudn't have to be when coming
back is ok i better check my mail.

it hurts a company when you communicate by email and when you don't respond
for 2 hours because you missed the incoming email envelope that you don't see.
whenever i think of checking my email i usually have about 5 or 6 sitting
there.
(and i do have my envelope set to the longest possible setting.)

thank you

Do you mean the Envelope that appears in the Taskbar when you get
email?

If so, it's still in there.
Go to Tools>Options>Preferences>E-Mail Options>Advanced E-Mail Options,
where there are 4 options for new emails (sound/cursor/envelope/desktop
alert)

The System Tray envelope is just as permanent for Outlook 2003 as it ever
was. If you're using Windows XP, perhaps the System Tray customization is
hiding it.
