Did you ever miss an important email or forget a commitment you made to your co-workers? Do meetings and emails tend to take over your calendar? Do you ever wish to see reminders for 1:1 meetings with your manager, direct reports, or other top collaborators? Would you like to be notified if an upcoming meeting doesn't have a quorum?

If your answer to any of these questions is yes, the Outlook add-in provides insights that you can act upon to help you stay on top of your tasks and get more done. This add-in is an extension of your Outlook experience and works within Outlook to help you gain focus time, maintain your work relationships, plan time away from work, and improve your overall work-life balance.

Privacy by design

Note: This post is to enable or disable the notification box. For the sound notification, see our post Turn Mail Notification Sound On/Off in Outlook 2016. Fix 1: Outlook Setting. In Outlook, select the “File” menu. Select “Options“. Choose the “Mail” option in the left pane. Scroll down to the “Message arrival” section. By default, Outlook for Mac doesn't automatically download pictures or photos in email messages if the images are stored on the Internet. This practice helps to protect your privacy because downloading an Internet picture can alert the sender that your email address is active and that you received the message.

The Outlook add-in preserves all thet I see the Outlook Insights add-in?.

  7. Catch up on documents: See a list of shared OneDrive and SharePoint documents that you need to catch up on.
  8. Add important people: Manage your list of important contacts. You'll see reminders when you have tasks to complete for these people or unread emails from them.

    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?
