Contact Birthdays

Why does the contacts birthday show as the day before it actually is?

RE: Contact Birthdays

I'd love to know this as well. Everyone I have entered a birthday or
anniversary for is listed as the day before. It is irritating!

Re: Contact Birthdays

The newer Windows Live Mail shows them correctly.

Re: Contact Birthdays

Thank you, but I am still perplexed. Why should MS initiate a fix in a
program that I don't want or need instead of just sending a patch for the fix
in the program directly? I do not use hot mail, don't intend to. I like what
I have just fine. Not angry at you. Just angry that MS would rather promote
another "something" instead of fixing what would be a minor code patch.

Re: Contact Birthdays

You don't need Hotmail to use WLM. It will access your POP & IMAP accounts,
just like WM. And it doesn't seem to have the "bugs" that some users are
experiencing.
It seems that MS is putting more resources into WLM, since it has had a
couple of versions released since Vista came out.
I don't know if WM will ever be patched.
I'm currently using Thunderbird, WM & WLM without any problems.
