Outlook 2010: Change the Screen Location that the Desktop Alert Appears
I’ve now got a three monitor setup at the office. In setting up how my new desktop displays information, I’ve moved outlook to the far-right screen. Trouble was, the new e-mail alert still appeared in the lower-right corner of the primary (far left) monitor. What I wondered was how I could change the position of the alert. Turns out you can and Tech-Recipes has the answer. Basically:
File|Options
Mail
Desktop Alert Settings
Preview
Move the alert to where you want it to appear
OK
OK
