Vista - Windows Live Messenger - open inbox not msn.com

Windows Live Messenger - open inbox not msn.com

I'm new here but hope this is the right place to find my answer.

I installed Windows Live Messenger Beta a while back when I was prompted to do so.

It's all fine and dandy apart from the fact that the envelope icon (which shows the number of new messages) now launches msn.com and not my hotmail inbox.

Admittedly this is only a small irritation but I can't find a setting anywhere that will just open my inbox rather than msn.com (forcing me then to click into Hotmail and the inbox - extra clicks and page loads).

Is it possible to revert back to the old behaviour where my inbox was opened?

I know these are vista forums but i'm on win xp pro sp3 if that should make a difference.

TIA
Techno~

Re: Windows Live Messenger

Hello,
im New to the Forums.
I had exactly the same problem.
Download:

then open it up, and when it asks you what you want to install , choose "mail".
once it is installed, open up windows live mail from start>all programs and set up your existing hotmail account in it. Restart your computer and Try going into live messenger and click inbox.
