Windows Mail doesn't honor the toolbar buttons I add or remove
in Customize Toolbar. The Toolbar returns with the default buttons
after I restart Windows Mail.
I have found that Internet Explorer is fine in this respect.
Any Ideas?

Hi James,
Not sure, but are you clicking CLOSE and not RESET when done in the Customize window. I know "duh", just an idea though.
Hope this helps,
Shawn

From what I've seen on this forum I think
that is a perfectly reasonable suggestion.

I'm clicking Close and I double-checked, anyway. Thr buttons
I want displayed are there when I close the Customize Toolbar
dialog. It's not until I close and re-open Mail that the buttons return
to the defaults.

Hi, James.
When I first started using WM, it took me a while to realize that Mail and
News each have their own separate Toolbar settings. What works in one,
won't work in the other sometimes. Some folders also allow specific
customizations. For example, the Not Junk button appears only when I'm
looking in the Junk E-mail folder; when I switch to the Inbox, it
disappears.
The same is true with some column arrangements. I see columns here in
Microsoft Communities (also known as Microsoft Public Newsgroups) that
aren't available for my ISP's news server's newsgroups.
From your description, I'm not sure this is your situation, but you might
want to check.

Hi James,
That would explain it then. This is part of the Vista forgetful memory file & folders view. You make the changes and they're there until you close the window and poof Vista defaults back to default view. There is currently no known fix yet for this. However, Microsoft is suppose to be releasing a new replacement for Windows Mail very soon. Hopefully it will be better and will remember your settings you want.
Hope this helps,
Shawn
Thanks much,
James
