Are you sure you are speaking of OE? Outlook Express does not have a
calendar.

AFAIK, you can't put OE in the SysTray. You can open it and then minimize it
to the Taskbar but OE /must/ be open to receive mail.

If not checked already:

Tools | Options | General. Check for messages every XX minutes. Check it.

Tools | Accounts | Mail | Properties | General. Check: "Include this
account............".

Can someone please tell me how to set up OE so that it sits in the system
tray and scans for emails so I don't have to have the program open all the
time. I used to use Incredimail but have switched over to OE for the
Calender etc. Can't find instructions for the above anywhere.
Thank you in advance
