Outlook 2003 has a great notification feature for new messages. A small pop-up window will appear above the notification area that has a quick summary of the new message. You can click this pop-up to read the message right away. The problem is that you have to be quick because the pop-up only appears very briefly.
You can configure the notification pop-up to stay longer by making a small configuration change within Outlook.
- Within Outlook, click Options from the Tools menu.
- Select the Preferences tab.
- Click the E-mail Options button.
- Click Advanced E-mail Options.
- Click Desktop Alert Settings.
- From the Desktop Alert Settings dialog box, move the Duration slider to the right. You can configure the pop-up to appear between 3 and 30 seconds.
- Click OK at each open dialog box to save your settings.

how do I get the mail desk top alert to stay on indefinitely so if I’m out for an hour or two - it’s still there??
