 Firstly I apologise if I am missing something obvious.

Is there an efficient way of ensuring that in a multi monitor situation e-mails opened from outlook display on the same monitor as the outlook location, and not on the main display?

 Hello Mike,

Thanks for the post.

What our product do you use?

If you use Actual Window Manager you should create Specific settings with:
1. Target Window tab:
Window Class = unchecked;
Window Caption = unchecked;
Program = checked = OUTLOOK.EXE ;
2. Startup tab:
Move to monitor=Of parent window.

Please, inform me about your results.

Best regards.

 Firstly thanks for your response, it is much appreciated.

Secondly I followed your instructions and unfortunately e-mails still open on the primary display, even where the e-mail client is open on the secondary display.

 I am using actual windows manager 6.6 and outlook 2010.

I did have limited success using the "move to monitor - having mouse pointer" option but this was inconsistent and always got messed up after moving the window to a new host monitor.

 Hello Mike,

Unfortunately, there is no way to get it, because these windows don't have parent windows.

You should use "Move to monitor = monitor X" or "Move to monitor = Having mouse pointer".

Best regards.

 The move to monitor having mouse pointer is workable, thanks for the help.

This software is really useful and I do plan on buying the full product after the 30 days trial.
