    Guys chill out, this tip is useful for Outlook XP/2002/2000. The native capability to minimize to system tray appeared first in Outlook 2003.

    In MS Outlook 2007 the feature already built in, you can just right click the icon and choose “hide when minimize”

    Me again. I will say that Startup Delayer by the same company (r2 Studios) is useful and I’ve been using that for about a year.

    Agreed. This is completely pointless and more effort than using Outlook’s built-in capability. How many years is this behind? Maybe Outlook 97 didn’t minimize to the system tray – I don’t know? :D

    Whats the point of this? Outlook does this natively by setting the option about minimisation…not only that it forces outlook to release memory.
