Windows Live Mail desktop Updated 

Build 1172 of Windows Live Mail desktop just went live on Ideas.Live.com.  This is the first publically available update for WLMd in about a month and a half, so needless to say there have been a lot of improvements since the last build.  Alright, let's just jump right into it.

New in this build
-  Migration from Windows Mail in Vista (Bug fixes and more support.)
-  Minimize to the System Tray (Apparently they have made some sort of update to this based on user feedback.  Still not sure what was changed.)
-  Windows Desktop Search 3.0 Integration (Pretty much self explanatory.)
-  Improved Sorting
-  Synchronization Improvements (Thank you!)
-  Performance Updates (Obviously crucial to WLMd's success, although the last build was pretty tight as far as performance goes)
-  Hundreds of bug fixes since the last build.

Go and grab the new build here.

Re: Windows Live Mail desktop Updated 
Bad description. It doesn't mention at all wth is Windows Live Mail:

"Windows Live Mail Desktop is an email client that can be downloaded onto Windows XP or Windows Vista. It will be a rough super-set of Windows Mail in Windows Vista."

Basically you could call it a replacement for Outlook.

Chog:

- Account/Mail Migration

We’ve made a number of bug fixes in this area, but we’ve also added support for some scenarios which weren’t covered in previous builds. Now when you install WLMd for the first time, we support migration of your Windows Mail accounts if you are running Windows Vista.

- Minimize to the System Tray (round 2)

Ok, ok…so we know this feature wasn’t perfect in the last build. We got a lot of feedback on it, and this latest build contains fixes for a lot of the issues you all reported – so give it another shot and let us know if you continue to see problems with the feature.

- Search updates

The Windows Desktop Search team recently shipped v3.0 of their product, and we made some changes in WLMd to make sure we integrate well with their latest version. If you’re running Windows XP SP2, please go and download Desktop Search 3.0 and give the Search feature in WLMd a whirl!

- Message list updates

Two of the biggest customer requests for the Message List were to (a) provide the ability to sort messages by size and (b) give customers a one-line view option so you can have better sorting capabilities. I’m happy to report that both of these options are now available in this build! Enjoy!

- Windows Live Spaces “Friends” Integration

Windows Live Spaces has a “Friends” feature – and for those of you haven’t tried this feature out, you really should! It’s a very cool way of tagging and keeping in touch with not only your Friends, but also to explore the sites of your Friends’ Friends and build a broader social network. We wanted to integrate with this feature in WLMd, so now in the Contacts area you will see a link to “Go to your friends list” which launches a new browser window that takes you directly to your Friends list! Intuitive, right?

- General Bug Fix Areas - There are a few other areas where we made a number of general bug fixes, and we’d like to just point them out to you so you can let us know if you think more improvements could still be made…

· Synchronization – I know a lot of people were running into syncing problems, getting errors and such, and we’ve spent lots of time trying to resolve those – so please just keep an eye on this and let us know if you continue to see issues while sync’ing your mail/contacts/RSS feeds/etc…

· Performance – This is one area where we made a lot of improvements with the last build, and will continue to work on until we feel like we’ve got it right! Again, hard to pinpoint a specific thing to focus on – but if you think certain tasks are still slower than you would expect them to be, please let us know what those are so we can make sure to investigate those for future releases.

Re: Windows Live Mail desktop Updated 

USing WLM desktop and its really really fast.

Also i think junk mail capture/filtering has also improved. Configured hotmail, live.com mail a/c and gmail a/c and its very easy and nice setup. But i think sometimes ad pane is annoying & i think MS will be doing something fo it.

When you setup gmail and get your old mails also after setting up POP, you'll get all sent mails also into Inbox. so start using POP from now onwards option to be checked in gmail.
