Ever find yourself struggling to concentrate between those pesky little email previews that pop-up when you get a new message? If you long for the days when your emails stayed nicely tucked away in your inbox, here’s how to tell those little show-offs not to strut onto your desktop for all to see:
- Open Microsoft Outlook
- Click on the Tools menu, then click Options.
- Click E-mail Options, and then click Advanced E-mail Options.
- Under When new items arrive in my Inbox, deselect the Display a New Mail Desktop Alert (default Inbox only) check box.
If you do want to know when you get a message, but don’t want everyone in the office to know as well, you can specify the duration or transparency of your alert. To do this:
- Open Microsoft Outlook
- Click on the Tools menu, then click Options.
- Click E-mail Options, and then click Advanced E-mail Options.
- Under When new items arrive in my Inbox, select the Display a New Mail Desktop Alert (default Inbox only) check box.
- Click the Desktop Alert Settings button, and select just how stealth you want those alerts to be.
