Question asked on Nov 20, 2013
And this drives me nuts! For example, if Outlook resides in the background and I'm online using Facebook and composing a message.

An email arrives,  forcing the web browser to the background and bringing Outlook to the front. This is totally disruptive.

If I want to use Outlook, bringing it to the forefront, then and only then, I'm ok with that.  Otherwise, I want Outlook humming in the background and unobtrusive.  If an email arrives, I get an audible alert and I'm ok with that.

How can I negate this problem?

Thanks, Vince in Leesburg, VA
