| | BUG: email notifications appear even when turned off This is really annoying. In WL Messenger, I have the email notifications turned OFF. However, while WL Mail is running, the email notifications still appear. There are no options in WL Mail to turn off the email notifications and WL Messenger's option to turn off email notifications does not work. PLEASE FIX THIS |

| | Re: BUG: email notifications appear even when turned off Greetings Adam, If you just use Live Mail for e-mail, you can stop this from happening by not signing into Live Mail using your Live ID. Just go into Live Mail, press the Alt key on the keyboard to bring up the menu bar, choose the Tools menu, and then Options. Choose the Connection tab, and then Stop signing in. Then confirm the operation. Now Messenger won't display the alerts, but it will still internally notify Live Mail when you receive an e-mail and automatically do the send/receive/sync as you'd expect. The only real problem with this workaround is that you'll have to manually sign in to Live Mail to get at your contacts/calendar. -- Jonathan Kay Microsoft MVP - Windows Live Messenger MSN Messenger/Windows Messenger MessengerGeek Blog: http://www.messengergeek.com Messenger Resources: http://messenger.jonathankay.com (c) 2009 Jonathan Kay - If redistributing, you must include this signature or citation -- "Adam Lein" <Adam Lein@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:AD7CBC9D-C8A0-4AF9-85B8-06DB6CF6B043@xxxxxx Quote: > This is really annoying.

| | Re: BUG: email notifications appear even when turned off Thanks! That seems like a decent work around. I just have to import my contacts from a CSV file instead of using the Windows Live Contacts now I guess. Hopefully future versions will fix that.

| | Re: BUG: email notifications appear even when turned off Hi Adam, To be honest I think it's a lame workaround, but I suppose it works. I've made note of this for future reference. -- Jonathan Kay Microsoft MVP - Windows Live Messenger MSN Messenger/Windows Messenger MessengerGeek Blog: http://www.messengergeek.com Messenger Resources: http://messenger.jonathankay.com (c) 2009 Jonathan Kay - If redistributing, you must include this signature or citation -- "Adam Lein" <AdamLein@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:9478A70C-2E73-492E-830B-045FF6EEE135@xxxxxx Quote: > Thanks!
