Sara, If I am thinking of the same pop-up window you are, this is what we
would expect to see. The new mail/reminder window should NOT appear on top
of all other windows. It used to, but this was changed due to feedback from
customers. In the old days, the window would pop-up, take the focus from
whatever application you were working in, and wait for a response. If you
happened to be typing an e-mail, or a Word doc, or anything else, and didn't
notice the pop-up, all the text you entered would have been lost. While
this is quite trivial in some cases, we did hear from enough of our
customers that we changed this behavior.
If you would like to comment on this feature, or request it to be changed
back in a future release of Outlook, please send e-mail to the 2 following
e-mail addresses.
email-address-deleted
email-address-deleted
If I am not describing your situation correctly, or am thinking of the wrong
pop-up, please tell me.

Thank you for choosing Microsoft,
