I'm looking for a way to display the number of unread messages when a user logs in.
I found a VB script that can do it but will ask for Outlook profile if Outlook is not running. Need for that a way to lauch Outlook in background (only taskbar), but the only way I found was to run in minimized...
Another way is to use third party app (such as http://www.lan-secure.com/OutlookUnreadMail.htm), but I didn't found anything good.
The best would be to have a icon in notification area displaying number of e-mails without having Outlook running, and that would open Outlook on click...
It seems incredible that nothing exists in Outlook yet :-(
