Horribly frustrating email alerts
in [Outlook]
|
From: Willem on 7 Apr 2010 05:39 Same here, Win7 & Office 2007Enterprise, people are starting (well..) to doubt my sanity with missing letters or entire words whenever an alert comes in. The alert is a nice feature so I do not want to turn it off. All I can do is reduce the pop up time to very short to reduce the amount of lost letters. Microsoft, help?

From: Bob I on 7 Apr 2010 14:21 Why not just have it play the sound and show the envelope in the notification area instead? That way no interruption at all!
