How to Disable Outlook pop-up Alerts on Your Desktop

I find myself searching for this answer all the time – How to turn on or off the pop-up email previews in outlook? There is nothing worse than hosting a go to meeting and having a flashing preview of all your email for all to see and you can’t go shut it off because you are hosting a live meeting.

With Outlook open click on the File tab to access Backstage View and click on Options

Now in Outlook Options click on Mail then scroll down to Message arrival. Then uncheck Display a Desktop Alert and click OK. If you don’t want a sound to play when an email arrives you can uncheck that as well.

This will take care of the pop-up (and sound too). Of course it helps if you remember to turn this off prior to starting your gotomeeting and turn it back on when it’s over.

Getting to normal (in Microsoft Word, at least)
