How to make Outlook 2010 not warn on empty subject?

7

2

I'm using the beta of Outlook 2010, and am wondering how I can set it to STOP warning me on empty subject lines. My family and friends (as opposed to work) I generally send with no subject, and it is REALLY annoying that it constantly asks me

"Really send with no subject?"

How can I turn this off?

5Ironic - most people wanted the warning in older versions of Outlook – ChrisF – 2009-12-09T21:40:19.593

Yah, I mean, I can see the value in it for some people. But for example, my parents or brother or girlfriend who I may email several times a day, and don't need a subject for every email, so it gets tired quick having it try to second guess me every time! LOL . It really should have a "don't show this message again" checkbox on it. :) – eidylon – 2009-12-09T21:57:19.167

Thanks! This worked perfectly! Now I'll just have to see if I can roll it into an add-in. – eidylon – 2010-10-04T18:52:56.553

Is this really the best way to do it? Why is it not an option in Outlook itself?! – crdx – 2012-07-11T07:25:10.607

It requires Exchange 2010 and Outlook 2010 to use MailTips which also has to be configured/Turned On in order to use. I tried to use a VBA script and that hasnt worked either.

1That would explain why I don't have a MailTips section, as I am using Outlook against a POP account, not Exchange. Thanks for the clarification on OutlookSB's answer. – eidylon – 2010-06-29T17:30:19.010

Go into File tab, click Options, then in Mail tab of Outlook Options box, under MailTips, click MailTips Options and then click "Never Display MailTips".

This popup warning has nothing whatsoever to do with MailTips – AdamV – 2011-03-27T09:55:57.777

I don't have a MailTips section. Under the File > Options > Mail section, I only have the following sub-sections: Compose Messages, Outlook Panes, Message Arrival, Conversation Clean Up, Replies and Forwards, Save Messages, Send Messages, Tracking, Message Format and Other. – eidylon – 2009-12-09T21:09:22.790
