How can I keep outlook from automatically coming to the foreground

[Ashimar]

If there is any single thing that is going to make me find another program to
organize my email, it is that while I am working Outlook seems to suddenly
decide that it is more important and pops up full-screen, interrupting my
work. It is really annoying, and I can't find information anywhere! This
probably happens to me 6-7 times every day.

If I can't correct this, I'm afraid I won't be a Microsoft Outlook user much
longer. I'm sure that Firefox has an extension that will serve the similar
purposes.

I know of no way to prevent it - what extension are you expecting firefox to
offer that will replace outlook?

If firefox (or any other mail client) offers the features you need, by all
means, use it - it's most likely faster and not so overpowering with
features and options you won't use. But if you need integrated mail,
calendar and tasks - I don't think you'll find it in a firefox extension.
