No, Outlook, like most programs, must be open to function.

After furious head scratching, meredith714 asked:

| I have enabled Outlook 2007 to pop up on my screen telling me I have
| a email; when i have an email - obviously.
|
| However, this only works when i have Outlook 2007 open on my tool-bar
| at the bottom. This is not practical for me as i have many other
| programs running at the same time and the area becomes very clusted.
|
| When i dont have the porgram opened Outlook fails to tell me when i
| have mail. I was just wondering whether it was possible for me to
| make it so that even if Outlook isnt open, it will inform me when i
| recieve mail? If so can somebody please talk me through how i set it
| up?
|
| Many thanks
