No, but you can opt to have it minimize to the system tray when you
click the minimize button. To activate this, click on the WLM icon in the
system tray and select "Hide window when Inbox is minimized."

When did people start expecting the "X-close" button to "minimize" an
application, instead of closing it? When the IM clients started doing this,
I found it disconcerting; I've come to expect the "X-close" button to
*CLOSE* the application.

Other applications I have (LapLink Gold, uTorrent) will "minimize" to the
System Notification Tray. Even Opera will disappear from the Toolbar when
the "Hide Opera" button is checked; leaving an icon in the System
Notification Tray.

"X-close" means...***CLOSE***!!!

Windows Live Mail updated today by Microsoft?

I read in the papers this past Sunday that Microsoft was planning to release
an update today Tuesday, and that it was going to include a new Windows Live
Mail (I think that is what I understood in the article).
That was going to be the second Tuesday of the month, which is today, and
which is the day of the month when Microsoft releases the monthly updates.
Today (this morning) I got my automatic updates, and I get them
"successfully", Windows Vista tells me.
However, now when I look at my Windows. Live.Mail beta version, I note that
it says that it is version 2008 , which is the same version that I hade
before. I checked my version a few days ago, hoping to see if a new version
was installed today Tuesday.
So it appears that I did not get today any Live.Mail update and that I still
have the Beta version.

Questions:

1. Did Microsoft released anything on Live.Mail today, or it is planning to
release anything soon?


2. Is my version Build 12.0.1365 the latest one?


Thanks in advance.

No, and not that I am aware of.

No. The latest build is version 12.0.1606. That has been out for a while,
now. You won't get it through Windows Update, but, supposedly, once you do
install this version, subsequent updates will come through Windows Update.

Michael also answered my question. (I put it by mistake to this thread, as
you see).
Let me ask you, Norman, it seems that I will have to go to the Microsoft
site and seek the new version and install it? (Then that one is not
"automatic")
Do I have to uninstall the old Beta version before I install the new one?

I just installed the latest version over the older version. I expect that,
if you are having any problems with the existing beta, it may be wise to
back up your messages, and remove it, first. If it is working okay, it
should be okay to install over it.

Pop up notification in system tray for windows live mail

Is it possible to have it minimizes to system tray when we click on the

You can get it from here. Just uncheck everything but the Windows Live
Mail. http://get.live.com/WL/config_all
