Is there anyway to set Outlook to stay open in the system tray and automatically check for new email on the server say every 3-5 minutes?
Also, Outlook is set so that I can't open .exe attachments, I know it's a good thing, but some attachments I do want to open. Is there any way to open a specific executable attachment without setting it to open every one. I know that there has been some email virus problems with Outlook automatically opening these type of attachments.
(Well I think this belongs in software...)

You can get it to check for mail every so often (minutes), but you can't set it to hide in the system tray//
Its either all or none for the attachements AFAIK

I am not sure why you are having problems with attachments. I use Outlook as well (the version that is bundled with OfficeXP Pro- 2002 I think it is) and it allows me to open all attachments seperately without opening anything on it's own automatically.
As for using OE for opening attachments go here (http://www.klboard.ath.cx/index.php?showtopic=64115).

Thanks for your help, I guess I have to allow all attachments. It's not like I haven't killed a few viruses using K-lite before. What's one more? :lol:

There are programs to allow you to minimize any program to the system tray, I was suing actual tile buttons for a while and it was ok. there is also a free one linked to on lamsey's homepage, check his sig.
If you wanna use outlook, instead of OE (recommended) there is a program called attatchment options that will do all of the above that you are requesting.
