Microsoft Outlook 2007 Essentials
Microsoft Outlook 2007 essentials is an add-on for Microsoft's email client that adds three distinct features to it: two remind you about attachments and subject, the last one provides you with the means to print a selection of an email.
The Microsoft Outlook 2007 add-on requires the .net Framework 3.5 which has to be installed on the computer system before the add-on can be installed.
Two of the features added by the Outlook add-on are reminders that check each email message when the user clicks the send button in the email program.
The first reminder checks if a subject line has been added to the email. If that is not the case it will display a small popup window notifying the user of the missing subject line. The user then has the option to cancel sending the email to go back into editing mode and add a subject line, or send the email anyway.
The second reminder looks for keywords in the email body that suggest that an attachment should have been added to the email message. If it finds a keyword like "attached" but no attachment, it will notify the user as well.
The final feature that is added by the Microsoft Outlook 2007 Essentials add-in is the option to print a selection of the email message. This is done by right-clicking an email, selecting Outlook Essentials Mail Viewer, selecting the part of the email that you want printed, and right-clicking again to print the selection.
Verdict
The Microsoft Outlook add-in might be useful for some users who either want to be extra careful to never forget to add attachments and subject lines to their email messages or who want to have the option to print a selection of emails.
Update: The add-on for Microsoft Office 2007 is no longer available on the developer website. We have uploaded the latest release version to our own file server. Please note that we have done so for archiving purposes only, and that the add-on is compatible only with Outlook 2007 and not newer versions of the messaging software.

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.
