where is the delete button in the toolbar?

I have Windows Live mail on two computers in my house and they are different.
Are there different versions? I had to change my desktop over yesterday and
there is no delete option on the toolbar without clicking onto the little
arrow to drop down a menu. I DO NOT LIKE CHANGE! Is there a way to get this
on my normal toolbar???

The newer version does not have icons on the Toolbar and has some bug fixes,
so you need to update.
Right click, Delete
Delete key on keyboard.
Delete on Toolbar.

There is only one CURRENT version of Windows Live Mail (build
14.0.8089.0726), but there are several older versions still in use. Also,
there are several versions of Windows currently in use (WinXP, Vista, Win7)
and several variations of each of those. Each computer monitor might be set
to a different screen resolution (800 x 600, 1280 x 1024, etc.) And, both
Windows and WLM are highly customizable by the users, so it is not
surprising that the appearance would be different on different computers.
Your two computers might be customized differently.

Since you posted your messages using a browser (the web-based interface), we
can't tell which version of WLMail you have installed. As in any Windows
program, click Help | About to see which version you are running. But you
can be sure you have the latest if you will download WLMail (and as many
other Windows Live components as you like) from here:
http://download.live.com

The WLMail Team made a few design decisions for build 14.0.8089.0726 that
many of us complain about. One is the pastel color scheme. Another is the
lack of icons on the Toolbar. And they hid the Menu Bar, by default; we
have to press Alt or <Ctrl>+M to see it momentarily, or use the icon on the
Toolbar to Show it permanently.

But the Toolbar is customizable. Just right-click on it and click Customize
Toolbar. You can select "Delete" from the menu and add it to the bar, then
move it to your favorite spot on the bar. Note that the Toolbar in Mail is
not the same as in News - or in the Compose window; each can be customized
separately. Your Toolbars may be customized differently in your two
computers.
