    keeping windows mail onlin after closing window

    Hi, I just recently set up my Windows Mail, but I realized that when I close
    the 'Windows Mail' Window, it signs me off, and then I can't receive my
    messages until I open 'Windows Mail' again. Is there anyways to fixx this and
    allow me to continue receiving mail without the window being open. I just
    want to be able to keep it working without it taking up room on my task bar.
    Please help!

    Thank You.

    Sorry, you can only minimize it to the taskbar.

    You might want to try the new Windows Live Mail, it can be minimized to the
    notification area

    With Windows Live Mail open, you should see a small envelope in the lower
    right (notification area) of the task bar. Right-click on it and select
    "Hide window when Inbox is minimized"
