Hi all,

How do I turn off or hide the status bar in outlook 2010?
I can not find the option anywhere.

Thanks

Here's a quick Macro i made that any one can use. Create a new macro then paste the following code into it, save it, and then customize your ribbon and add it to your quick access toolbar.

You can now Toggle (show / hide / on / off) the status bar with a simple click of your mouse button!

Code:

Sub ShowHideStatusBar()
'
' Show/hide status bar macro
'

If CommandBars("Status Bar").Visible = False Then
    CommandBars("Status Bar").Visible = True
ElseIf CommandBars("Status Bar").Visible = True Then
    CommandBars("Status Bar").Visible = False
End If

End Sub

Regards, Christian Gould.

You can also very easily control what appears (or does not appear) in the Status Bar:

If you find the new Status Bar much too cluttered now and want to hide a few items or only want to see Outlook’s connection state, then you can turn off the items by right clicking on the Status Bar. This will reveal a context menu in which you can easily select the information that you want to be displayed.
