No new mail notifications in Messenger when WLM is running

I noticed (quite long ago, so this problem exists across many versions) that
whenever I have Windows Live Mail running, Windows Live Messenger stops
notifying me about arriving email messages. Is it possible to fix this
somehow?

In Messenger: Tools->Options->Alerts and Sounds->[check] Display alerts when e-mail is received

This is already checked and works perfectly _until I start Windows Live
Mail_. Then no mail notifications are displayed until I close WLM, after
which Messenger again works as usual.

I have been in the same trouble with you for a
long time but fortunately I found a solution.

Breaking the integration between Messenger
and Mail enables Messenger's new email
alerts again. How to break it?

Open regedit (Start>Run>regedit)
Browse for HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows Live\Communications
Clients\Shared
Delete your address from Mail Primary Account.
Now you'll get all Messenger new mail alerts even
if your wl Mail is open.

But you must always do this after starting wl mail
once. Because when you start wl mail, it writes
your address to that key again.

That's interesting.

Useful if you want to remain signed into Windows Live within Windows Live Mail, otherwise signing out (Tools->Options...->Connection->Stop signing in [button]...) has the same effect, since it removes that Value data.

Yes, I already know stopping signing in but like you said I want to remain
signed into wl mail as well. Also my tweak doesn't actually breaks all the
integration, I can still see my online contacts within wl mail's interface.
Yet, I would like to see the mail team do something for this annoying problem
in the next version.
