No messages, nothing in logs that I can see.

The process is running I can see it with ProcessExplorer, if a new mail
arrives the popup pops and the envelope is in the tray. I can click the new
mail icon in the tray read the mail, answer it if need be, and the envelope
goes away as it should.

If I start Outlook from Quick Menu then it starts immediately, I don't think
it allows multiple instances - that's fine by me, I only want one. When I
minimize I get nothing in the tray.

When this happens I just use the QuickLaunch, no loss of performance, its
just not where I expect it to be sometimes I kill it with ProcessExplorer
and restart from QuickLanch - voila its back in the tray. So its no big
deal.

Outlook disappears from the SysTray persistently. This is not due to
windows explorer crashing.

Is this a known defect.

I've not heard of it. The only time Outlook disappears from the tray for
me is when I close it. Do you have any error messages displayed? Does
anything appear in the Event log?
