How to open Outlook components in New Window

Sometimes you would like to view two or more Outlook components at once, e.g. Inbox and Calendar or Tasks. Usually, whenever you click from one to another, the first is replaced in the same window. To view two or more Outlook components at the same time, open them in separate windows.


Example: To open your Calendar in a new window, right click My Calendar from the folder list and click Open in New Window. Your calendar will now automatically appear in its own window allowing you to easily move between your inbox and your calendar. This also works with the other components in Outlook such as the journal and tasks.

    i use this feature quite often - however, lately - even if the close the new opened window, it still shows it in the System Tray. right click the microsoft Outlook icon -> Open Outlook -> shows the new window opened that i have closed now - any idea?

    Thanks for this! I discovered this feature one day by accident one day and haven't been able to find since this post. And to discover how easy it was!

    I like this feature so i can have the Calendar and others open at the same time, allowing me to drag&drop between them and the Calendar

    Problem is, I need to reset the Calendar window up every time I start Outlook.

    Is there a way to have Outlook automiatically start up the way I had it set the last time I Exited Outlook (ie with 2 windows open)
