These are standard instructions that most people figured out before they reported having problems.
They seem unaware of the bug in Outlook. I have [i]all four notification boxes unchecked[/i]. Even so, every new email puts a box in the center of the screen that steals focus. Whatever I happen to be typing at the time has to be retyped.
Is anyone aware of a fix?
