The login is for Windows Live services (Messenger, Calendar, Contacts, ...).
It is not necessary to login to use WLMail for email or newsgroups.
The sign in cannot be hidden.

I wonder if it can be disabled though? E.g. using Group Policy? ; )

FWIW ProcMon indicates that WLMail would inspect values under
this key:

Path: HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Group Policy\AppMgmt\{CE378F36-E404-4244-A33F-F50A2A6D31BD}

So, presumably inserting that key would allow us to find out which
value names are supported that way and hence give us a clue about
which features could be disabled.

Of course, it would be better if such features were documented
but it's fun doing some reverse engineering when they aren't. ; )
