Advanced Security for Outlook
Some of my friends still use Outlook because they need the excellent calendar functionality and I'm forced to use it at work as well. I guess a lot of other users have to work with Outlook as well, and that is my motivation behind reviewing the software program Advanced Security for Outlook.
Advanced Security for Outlook is an add-in for Outlook that gives users more information about security alerts, and additional options when it comes to the handling of these security alerts in the future.
The default Outlook security alert does not mention which program is trying to access Outlook for instance, which can be changed with the help of this program.
Not knowing which program is seen as a threat by Outlook can be a frustrating and sometimes costly experience.
This Outlook add-in is also very useful if you get bombarded with security alerts in regular intervals. You can easily turn them off using this add-in, for instance when you are certain that the alert can be ignored.
Whenever a security alert pops up you have the choice to allow access, block access or call the default handler and check to use the action from now on for this security alert.
This add-in for Outlook solves all of the above problems providing the information not only about the type of alert, but also about what program caused it and makes it possible for the user to specify what status this program should have: allow access, block access or run the default Outlook handler. Later on you can change or delete the decision taken.
Advanced Security for Outlook is compatible with all 32-bit versions of Microsoft's messaging software from Outlook 2000 to the very latest version provided that they are 32-bit versions. The add-in will run on all Microsoft operating systems from Windows 95 on. Downloads are provided on the developer website. The program is free to use for commercial and non-commercial use.

You said that Outlook isn’t your main email client, so which is your main one?
I think its thunderbird
It is Mozilla Thunderbird.
Awesome! This actually solved my problem… what a stupid bug.
If this is the same bug that I’ve encountered, there may be another fix: (1) hover over open Outlook item in Taskbar, cursor up to hover over Outlook window item, and right-click; (2) this should give you Restore / Move / Size / Minimize / Maximize — choose Move or Size; (3) use your cursor keys, going arbitrarily N/S/E/W, to try to move or size the Outlook window back into view. Basically, the app behaves as though it were open in a 0x0 window, or at a location that’s offscreen, and this will frequently work to resize and/or move the window. Don’t forget to close while resized/moved, so that Outlook remembers the size/position for next time.
THANK YOU Claude!!! I could get the main window to launch but could not get any other message window to show on the desktop. You are my hero!!!!
Solved my issue! 6 years later and this is still problem…
Fantastic. Thank you. Size did the trick.
This solved my Outlook problem, too. Thank you. :)

Yah…thanks Claude. I’ve been having the same problem and tried all the suggestions…your solution was the answer. It had resized itself to a 0/0 box. Cheers

Thanks a lot. I was facing this issue from past 3 week. I tried everything but no resolution. The issue was happening intermittently and mainly when I was changing the display of screen ( as i use 2 monitors). The only option i had was to do system restore. But thanks to you.
I’ve been tried to sole this problem for 12hours. Your comment about changing the display of screen helped me a lot!! Thanks!!

This problem was faced by only one user logging to TS 2008 r2 using outlook 2010.The issue was resolved.

Great tip. Thank you!!!! If it helps, I had to use the Control Key and the arrow keys at the same time to bring my window back into view. Worked like a charm.
