NOTE:

If you select or clear any of these check boxes in the EM task pane in Outlook, the same settings persist in the other dialog boxes. For example, if you select the Print filing option, it appears selected in the Browse and File dialog box, the EM task panes in the new email window, and the filed email window.

You can resize or close the task pane using the Size and Close options available in the Task Pane Options images/download/thumbnails/173900394/TaskPaneOptions.png list.
