Talk:Windows Live Mail

message: The name of this product is not Windows Live Mail Center. The Windows Live Mail Desktop Team has denied any name change in the first place. And even if they did change the name, it has been changed back. (See Windows Live)
"The official name for the product is Windows Live Mail Desktop. I've heard rumors in the blogsphere say that we've changed the product name, but we haven't."-Lewis Lin (From a Members-only forum on The Hive)

message: * Plenty of huge javascript ads that can't be removed by Internet Explorer users but can be removed by users of Firefox and Adblock Plus
I bet it will be the truth; you just watch~!
: This isn't really the place for jokes. It's seen as vandalism. Maybe you could write something factual about Live Mail's shortcomings, but it would need to be rock solid. Good luck, Noit 03:30, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  Those ads can be removed by a dedicated (not browser-based) ad-blocker, such as the excellent (IMHO) one built into Symantec Client Firewall (which I use). --[rrrperson] 21:57, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  I quite like my addition 

message: The "D" in "Desktop" is uppercase. At http://ideas.live.com/programpage.aspx?versionid=6ac2bed2-b5a4-4a0a-a897-e36dd191a9f4 (Official Windows Live Ideas Live Desktop page) and the official developer's blog at http://morethanmail.spaces.live.com/, the "Desktop" is still capitalised. In the actual application, it's lowercase because it's styled like that. It's like Flickr's logo (the "f" is lowercase in the logo, but it's capitalised everywhere else). bCube(talk,contribs); 19:41, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah, you are right, bCube, and for that I apologize. I should've left it alone after Jeremy.Visser fixed it back to how it should be. Sorry.. --Illyria05-- 04:08, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: What is with the big deal with uppercase/lowercase? Please stop changing the article regarding uppercase "D" or lowercase "d", as mentioned above, the official name was with an uppercase, and lowercase is only used as a styling purpose. Besides, why worry now when the name has been even changed? Pikablu0530 23:22, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

message: The URL given in the infobox does not lead you to the beta released launched on May 30(accounting that the rest of the information in the infobox is correct) which should be Version 12. Instead it leads you to the release of Version 8. Any comments? Proof of V12? Or Current URL for Download?

replies: text: The beta was only meant to be released for people in certain countries. These countries are the US, UK, India, France, Japan, Germany, China and Spain. It is mentioned on the Messenger blog. If you aren't in one of those countries then you are redirected to get.live.com. Swanny92 12:06, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Re: Misleading URL 

message: The beta link for those programs can only be accessed by users from the countries listed here. If your computer isn't set to one of those countries, then you get redirected to get.live.com. The user you changed the link had a point, that link enables ALL USERS (including me who's in Australia) to access the beta page. I changed the link back, and edited it on the Messenger page and the Writer page. If any objections, please discuss here. Swanny92 12:35, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

message: This article currently has a section labeled "Differeneces from Windows Mail / Outlook Express". However, this article should only compare Windows Live Mail to Windows Mail, it's immediate predecessor. Could someone more familiar with the three applications fix this? - Josh (talk | contribs) 18:00, 29 January 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Differences section 

message: This entry says:  "Support for Web-based e-mail accounts including Windows Live Hotmail, Gmail/Google Mail, and Yahoo! Mail Plus."  And the the WLM page itself says "You can send and receive e-mail messages from any computer with an Internet connection and a web browser. HTTP accounts include MSN Hotmail, Windows Live Hotmail, and Windows Live Admin Center accounts." 
That's about the least informative 'information' possible. "INCLUDING"  - wowee
So it's not just 'any' or 'all' http web-based email ?  What, and who, determines which http (or https) web-based email can WLM work with?  Is it determined by MS ?  Or by the web-based mail site?
The current info (?) require fooling around and failing and getting no error message, just keeps asking for pw; and seems to screw up the retrieval url, but not clearly so.
Additionally: Even an encyclopedia could provide a reference url for some real help - a forum i guess where WLMail q's can be asked - ?
